A Painted House by John Grisham (2001, Abridged, Compact Disc)

Time flew when driving with this book. Didn't want to get out of the car after "only 45 minute" drives. I'd already read this book but forgot. Still great.

Great Book recommended reading !!!!!!!!!! John Grisham does it again. This book is an education for anyone who is down and out to see how simple life can be rewarding.

The reader and story line of this book were excellent. The book captures the time and methods used to bring crops to market and the dynamics of those who plant the fields and the labor who later harvest it. I highly recommend this audio book.

I have read every one of Grishams books. You could call me a real fan. I read this book in Oxford Magazine, and I found only one fault in it. It was to short. Yes, it is much different than anything else he has written, but so what, it is a great, yes great book. I can't wait until my 15 year old daughter gets time to read it. I see it as a classic for almost any school kid. Told from the view of this 7 year old boy on a poor farm, it had me from page one, and while it was not a great thriller it was a great story that could not have sounded more real. Do yourself a big time favor and don't pass up this wonderfully told story.
