Download A Painted House: A Novel Audiobook

" Totally not the usual Grisham. "

" A book completely different from other John Grisham novels. A moving story about the troubles and trials of a rural family who are cotton farmers from the eyes of a young boy. Based slightly on Grisham's own childhood experiences is what I've heard. "

" Knowing John's style I hoped for something different all the way to the end. "

" I really liked this book. "

" Did not like this one.........rare for him because he's one of my favorite authors. "

" Different than anything else I have read from him. Solid story "

" This book truly is a master piece and one of Grisham's best novels! Full of suspense and mystery amazing "

" A painted house reads like it is possibly a memior about Grisham's childhood. A good read. It has a Tom Sawyer quality. "

" Although seven years old is a bit young to be this astute a narrator, Luke tells a good story in this wonderful book. "

" I was surprised at how good this book was. I thought Grisham could only write pulp fiction with stereotypical characters, but this was really well-written. "

" It was an OK story. Not the best, luckily not the worst either "

" never read books from John Grisham. i decide to try it. what's your comment about this book? "

" A fun book to read. "

" What a wonderful book! The story has a sweet sadness about it that may stir some of your own memories of childhood. "

" The story was slow in telling the story of a depression era family. No excitement to the story. "

" Love this book, one of Grisham's best!! "

" a huge departure from his usual fare, this sealed Griffin's place among the best story tellers of our time. "

" Grisham should stick to law thrillers. "

" Listened to the book on audio while driving and it was a good distraction. Nicely drawn characters but their actions were largely predictable. We're I a baseball fan, I suspect I would have loved it. "

" One of the best books I have ever read. "

" It's a good book but a little disappointing since it was written by John Grisham. A little tame compared to some of his I read. I did finish the book. "

" This isn't my normal genre, however, I just really like this book. I read it years ago. Grisham steps out of his "legal" world and wrote a really nice book. "

" The only John Grisham I was able to get through. It was a sweet story, and an enjoyable read "

" I found it interesting, how a child's life can be altered by a senseless act. "

" I was sad when it ended, so what happens to them now? Sequel please. "

" Surprisingly good for being outside the realm of his legal bailywick. I don't know what possessed him to write this, unless he was getting his childhood out of his system, but it's good. The story is sensitive without being sentimental and the writing is better than a lot of his other books. "

" I am not a huge John Grisham book, but this book I think was amazing. "

" Enjoyable despite the fact it wasn't one of his thrillers. It had soul and showed a side of Grisham I admire even though it wasn't the best literary novel ever. I liked it better than the lesser of his thrillers. "

" If I wasn't strong in the spirit, I would have hurled myself out a window after reading this-which by the way was one of the most difficult books ever for me to finish. Supremely boring and lacklustre. "

" Excellent read. I didn't want the book to end. Charming Little Luke Chandler kept me entertained throughout his challenging little boy fears and hopes and all the secrets. "

" It's been a while since I read this book but I remember liking it. "

" It was an easy and entertaining read as with all Grisham books. A Painted House was a nice detour from his usual court house drama. I enjoyed it very much. "

" I really enjoyed this one. It reminds me of the stories older members of the churches I've visited have told me. "

" Loved it! Totally recommend. "

" Very different from his legal thrillers. Enjoyed it very much. "

" Great story. Unlike anything that John Grisham has written before. "
