This was a good book ...but leaves you desiring alot more...its has suspence at a level that is not up to par with some of his other novels....I was curious as to what happens next but not to the point where i was at the edge of my seat....If you like Grisham its stilla good read...

I absolutely love this book. I like the prospective the author wrote from and his unique style. I'm about 350 pages in and I can't get enough. The characters are incredibly descriptive and the story is vivid. This book is a MUST read!!
Averette Packard (08/11/04)

"A Painted House" is a definite collection book. It is a book that you fall asleep with every night because you cant stop reading it. I read it for my summer reading book for school. I had a better summer by reading it. John Grisham is an exceptional author and I recomend this book for everyone!
