A Painted House

I remembered that I really liked this book when it first came out but I couldn't remember anything about the story. I'm glad I read it again. I really like reading about Luke and the crazy adventures he goes on. What a story.

This was a “nice” story, one that kept me reading (or listening, actually, as I went for the recording). But like most Grisham books, it's strong on plot but weaker on prose and substance. Still, I didn't hate it. Not at all.

Great book and story, my only complaint is the same reason that I read the book after viewing the movie: it ends with the story unfinished.
I thought the movie covered the first book of a series, but turns out the author just abandoned the story after the first book.
And yes, I am “one of those” that needs closure in my book / series, so it loses a star for leaving me hanging.
