Why don’t we like the big guy? Ever since David stuck one in the eye of Goliath we have always routed for the little one. In Britain this often takes the form of sporting events with people supporting the minnows against the might of someone like Chelsea or Man U. Whatever the situation the chances are you dislike the big guy – because you’re jealous. That’s right, jealous. They have more money, better looks and more power – don’t you just hate them. In this case there is little justification for your attitude but sometimes this is not true; sometimes the big guy is not nice and deserves everything they suffer. ‘The Rainmaker’ highlights one such ...

Premium Review The Rainmaker - John Grisham: Gripping (281 words)
by benbriscoe - written on 13.09.00 (Very useful, 55 readings)

Grisham is loved for his legal novel and you can't help to be absorbed with what he writes. The Rainmaker is no exception. It tells the story of a student, fresh out from law school, pitted against one of the biggesy Insurance companies in the US, defending a cancer victim by the name of Donny Ray. David versus Goliath with Grisham as the referee is the best way to describe this book. As soon as you begin this book you are faced with the Grisham writing style. Somehow he manages to get you gripped within the first few pages, and holds you in till the last. I have yet to read a book of his that hasn't held me throughout. There is so much to be ...
