Hi all ! I just love to read. so I am constantly posting stuff here ! Hope no one kicks me off any time soon !
I just read this book... "A Painted House", by John Grisham.... first let me say... it is not at all a "typical" John Grisham.... no lawyers, judges, or court rooms in the whole book !!
It is about a young boy growing up on a very poor farm in the South. I loved reading about the "simple" life, where they loved listening to baseball games on the radio and the thrill he felt when he saw a baseball game on TV for the first time ever. And hearing about the once a week trip to town... that was the highlight of the week !
I will also say that my parents read this book & didn't enjoy it.... they like John Grisham to stay in the court room only... but if you enjoy the "good old days".... you may find yourself relaxing with this book
