Search - A Painted House (Large Print)

I read this book sometime ago, but still remember how impressed I was that an adult could write a book from a 7-year old child's perspective and make it believable. The story of this boy growing up in rural Arkansas (based on Grisham's own childhood) was engrossing, suspenseful, enjoyable, and believable. Whether you are a Grisham fan or not (I am), you should try this departure from his usual legal thrillers.

I have read this book more than once. I watched the movie when it was on TV as a Hallmark Movie and decided to read the book!! This is a very good story. My dad is currently borrowing the book and started reading it!!!!

If you were raised in the country as a baby boomer as I was, this is a great book.

As a huge Grisham fan, this book doesn't have all the legal jargon that his other books do. This is about a boy growing up on a farm and dealing with his neighbors and migrant workers who come to work for his family.
