À propos de cet audio

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A taut and terrific page-turner” (Entertainment Weekly) from the master of the courtroom thriller

In development as a USA Network series starring John Slattery

It’s summer in Memphis. The sweat is sticking to Rudy Baylor’s shirt and creditors are nipping at his heels. Once he had aspirations of breezing through law school and punching his ticket to the good life. Now he doesn’t have a job or a prayer—except for one: an insurance dispute that leaves a family devastated and opens the door for a lawsuit, if Rudy can find a way to file it.

By the time Rudy gets to court, a heavyweight corporate defense team is there to meet him. And suddenly he’s in over his head, plunged into a nightmare of lies and legal maneuverings. A case that started small is exploding into a thunderous million-dollar war of nerves, skill, and outright violence—a fight that could cost one young lawyer his life, or turn him into the biggest rainmaker in the land.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A mighty narrative talent and an unerring eye for hot-button issues . . . Grisham also reveals for the first time a surprising knack for comedy.”—Chicago Sun-Times

“Great fun to read . . . The complex plotting is Grisham’s major accomplishment.”—Los Angeles Times

“Passages in The Rainmaker are reminiscent of Pat Conroy. . . . This is Grisham’s most barbed book since The Firm, and it is by far his most entertaining.”—People

“Melding the courtroom savvy of A Time to Kill with the psychological nuance of The Chamber, imbued with wry humor and rich characters, this bittersweet tale, the author’s quietest and most thoughtful, shows that Grisham’s imagination can hold its own in a courtroom as well as on the violent streets outside.”—Publishers Weekly

A number of different situations young lawyer and recently graduated student Rudy Baylor encounters. The story holds your interest. I’ve read the book and listened to it. Nice and easy to follow. I also watched the move which was good but like all Grisham books you understand the movie better when you read the book. Nice easy listen

Great Listen

Really enjoyed this book, some laughs, some tears but an excellent story. Same complaint as other reviewers with the repetitive sentences, almost like they paused and forgot where the reader stopped. All in all, an excellent story

Another excellent Grisham novel

I really enjoyed the story, the way it carried through to its conclusion. I did have a problem with many passages repeated through it. I am not sure if this was intensional but concluded it was in error.

Another winner!

Like others I think this is a good listen but found the few sections where lines were repeated a bit distracting. Otherwise it would have been 5 stars in every category.

Unfortunately, there were a lot of pauses and sentences frequently repeated. A little frustrating to say the least

Loved the story

This is a classic Grisham, the characters are full and the story one of fighting for justice in a corrupt world. The young protagonist is one you want to spend time with and fight his battles with him. Grisham is at the top of his game. #Audible1

If you're only going to read one Grisham...

As usual, this author has written an interesting and compelling book. Much can be learned about the law and insurance companies. Aside from a number of repeated sentences in the book, the narration was very good.
