Hardcover Description:
Michael Beck (The Golden Seal, Xanadu), who seems to be making a career out of reading books on audio (A Time to Kill, The Runaway Jury), has returned with John Grisham's The Rainmaker, bringing the backwoods of Tennessee's legal world to life. His sultry, southern drawl animates the world of Rudy Baylor, an out-of-luck, budding lawyer who has more things going against him than bedraggled, disaster-magnet Joe from Lil' Abner. The law firm that hired Baylor was gobbled up by a larger firm just three weeks before his graduation, and now he has no job and no chance of finding one. To make matters worse, when he gets home there's an eviction notice, a process server, and a lawsuit waiting for him. What's a bumbling baby-lawyer to do? Get a case and some cold hard cash--fast. Baylor stumbles upon two possible jackpots: A tight-lipped widow with millions squirreled away and a young man whose life is cut short by a negligent insurance company. Baylor gets in over his head and finds himself up against a pack of superpower attorneys; losing could cost him his life and winning would make him a rainmaker cum laude. Grisham's knack for making tedious legalities interesting, coupled with Beck's gift for shifting in and out character like a Mercedes roadster, makes for an exciting, entertaining listen. Running time: 360 minutes.
well i have a different opinion here about the ending of The RainMaker. I thought it was totally awesome. It very very great and surprising. You know i always thought that the story will end up happily, that Rudy will win and got all the money. But that what i like most from this novel : THE ENDING. It's out of average, unpedictable, and absolutely FANTASTIC. When i thought that the story would be complicate, John Grisham serve me with a simple but touching ENDING. And finally i think, that what supposed to be in Rudy's Life. Love it!!!

Absolutley Intriguing
The Rainmaker is an intriguing story that will keep readers wanting to turn the page. Written by John Grisham, this story has inspired readers everywhere. It's a story of compassion, devotion, and love- This is the story of a lawyers struggle through the beginning of his career.
The Rainmaker is about a rooky lawyer named Rudy Baylor who just graduated from law school. He has passed his bar exam and has taken on his first cases as a lawyer. Since Rudy has no money and no place to live, he's just looking for some easy money makers. At least that's what he thinks these cases are, but Rudy gets in over his head. These so called easy cases turn into a fight for justice in this small town.
With the help of his new found partner, a friend who knows the ropes of law, and some ways around it, Rudy finds the real lawyer inside of him, vs. the lawyer that breezed through college. He fights for what's right against a dishonest insurance company that won't cover a young man with leukemia and a young woman with an abusive husband.
This story follows his struggles, hardships and breakthroughs. This is an extraordinary story. It's a story for all readers and one that everyone will enjoy. This novel is written so well you feel like you're not just reading it, but your there, in the courtroom, or in the office, or wherever the story may take you. The details, it's not superficial or unrealistic, and how the characters are written make the story even more real. It almost feels like a biography, like Rudy's thoughts were written down on paper as he thought them. Reading this story will inspire young lawyers, and young readers everywhere. I can truly say that this novel is one that I can read over and over and still be taken aback by this story of affection, love, and allegiance.
