The Rainmaker by John Grisham is funny, intriguing, believable, and a page-turner. I enjoyed Grisham's writing style as always, as well as the concept, the characters, and his criticism of the world of U.S. law. Everything seems so neat and well-thought-out, even though it's predictable.

Favorite Quotes:

- "All students enter law school with a certain amount of idealism and desire to serve the public, but after three years of brutal competition we care for nothing but the right job with the right firm where we can make partner in seven years and earn big bucks"

- "Law school is nothing but three years of wasted stress. We spend countless hours digging for information we'll never need. We are bombarded with lectures that are instantly forgotten. We memorize cases and statutes which will be reversed and amended tomorrow. If I'd spent fifty hours a week for the past three years training under a good lawyer, then I would be a good lawyer. Instead, Im a nervous-third-year student afraid of the simplest of legal problems and terrified of my impending bar exam"

- "Some people have more gut than brains"

- "I'm alone and outgunned, scared and inexperienced, but I'm right"

- "There are few things in life worse than a long-winded lawyer"

- "Life is too short to despise people who simply can't help what they've done."
