The Rainmaker

Title: The Rainmaker.
Author: John Grisham.

     Tribulations of a young lawyer trying to make his way among established and wealthy attorneys with large offices and wonderful contacts -- it makes me glad that I did not pursue my dad's wishes for me to become a lawyer! I chose academia for a few years (Hunter College) at age 16 -- then heard the "Halls of Montezuma" and left to enlist in the USMC to help my country in World War II. That gave me the impetus to become an R.N. when my military duties were over and it was a better choice. The book was well-written and the ending is okay. This is vintage Grisham, unlike his "silly" baseball book.

Fiction; rated 5 out of 5.
