Product Description
It’s summer in Memphis. The sweat is sticking to Rudy Baylor’s shirt and creditors are nipping at his heels. Once he had aspirations of breezing through law school and punching his ticket to the excellent life. Now he doesn’t have a job or a prayer…except for one: an insurance dispute that leaves a family tree devastated and opens the door for a lawsuit, if Rudy can find a way to file it.
By the time Rudy gets to court, a heavyweight corporate defense team is there to meet him. And suddenly he’s in over his head, plunged into a nightmare of lies and officially authorized maneuverings. A case that ongoing tiny is exploding into a rolling million-dollar war of nerves, skill and outright violence–a fight that could cost one young lawyer his life, or turn him into the largest rainmaker in the land….Amazon.com Review

When I finished this tale I was like that’s it?! Where was the plot, and the conflict?! The only thing I would call a twist in the tale was that it had absolutely no twists! Nearly everything in the tale seemed to be completely beside the point to everything else. …

Sorry I have read most of the Grisham novels. This one did not do it for me.

I really delight in John Grisham books, I usually read them very quickly because I get so into them that I can’t place them away. The Rainmaker easily fits this category. It really is reasonably entertaining and for the most part you will really like the well developed characters and tale line.
It has its flaws though. (FLAW #1) Grisham spends most of the first half of this book developing these characters (Birdie, Fee and Bruiser) that you reflect are going to be really vital to the ending but in the second half he just gets ride of them because, I judge, he couldn’t figure out what to do with them. (FLAW #2) This is also one of the most unrealistic novels I have read in some time. Judge Kipler would never be allowed to be that biased towards Rudy (at least I hope not), Rudy would never been allowed by any sane person to have that case by himself and Kelly would never immediately fall in like with a man she’s barely met especially when she’s in a very abusive relationship.
(Spoiler coming… be ware!!!!)
(FLAW #3) The main thing that ticks me off with this book is the fact that they spend the whole entire book showing you how Fantastic Benefits was a liar and a crook etc and how they are the most unethical company in the whole entire world. Thank goodness there is Rudy to defend the world against such immoral beats of the devil. Then at the end of the book Rudy kills Kelly’s spouse with a baseball bat and lets Kelly take the blame and while he is trying to get Kelly out of prison he lies to everyone so he can achieve his means. WHY IS IT A GREVIOUS SIN FOR GREAT BENEFIT TO LIE BUT OKAY FOR RUDY? WHY IS OKAY FOR RUDY TO MURDER SOMEONE DIRECTLY WITH A BASEBALL BAT BUT NOT OKAY FOR GREAT BENEFIT TO DENY A CLAIM THAT LED TO SOMEONE BEING KILLED. This is a drastic double standard and it really just left a very terrible taste in my mouth.
P.S. It’s also incredible that a name is murdered and they don’t even bother to look at the murder weapon and run some prints on it. They also dropped all the charges against Kelly and let the “murderer” out of prision and on her own in less than two days. Just really unrealistic.
EASY BOOK TO READ, ENJOYABLE FOR THE MOST PART BUT JUST TOTALLY UNREALISTIC AND WITH ANNOYING DOUBLE STANDARDS

This is my least favorite Grisham book. Aside from the underdeveloped plot, the characters are very flat. And, the tale, especially the ending, is so completely far-fetched, it makes the endings of The Firm and The Pelican Brief seem plausible.
I don’t know the hype this book receives, it certainly doesn’t deserve it. Grisham knows how to keep the reader captivated, so it’s disappointing to read something like this and know that he could have done a lot better.

It was right to the movie, which was wonderful. I highly reccommend the book and Amazon offered it at a much lower fee than Barnes and Noble.
