Book Review of A Painted House

A Painted House
pogosmith avatar reviewed on + 20 more book reviews


One of the best books I have ever read. Grisham takes you on an adventure which must surely be representative of his childhood. Part coming-of-age, part suspense-thriller; all touching and personal.

For me this is reflects a situation similar to my childhood in cotton fields in Oklahoma. It tugs at my heart and my chain of memories that live at the edge of my awareness of growing up.

Haunting, loving, terrorizing.
