Don't get me wrong--I think his writing has merit, and I also think he's a master of suspense and at making legal jargon understandable for the common man. However, I decided to pick this book up after learning about its setting (rural Arkansas), since the area is one my family has lived in for generations. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the novel, and I think it elevated Grisham to a new status. It reads more like a "literary" book, and its story causes the reader to draw parallels to books like The Grapes of Wrath. There's an unexpected ending like most Grisham books, but it's definitely not over the top. This book is understated--and in some ways, "painted" across the page much like the title states. It's a good read, but does not have nearly the entertainment value of some of Grisham's other novels. If you're into the mystery and suspense of the others, don't read this one. You'll probably be disappointed. | |

It reads more like a reality narrative from the perspective of a little boy on a cotton field. In the end, I was frustrated, because it seemed to just leave the reader hanging ... with too many questions not answered or tied together ... maybe that was his point ?! | |

Having previously read the condensed version of this book, I wanted to read the whole thing, that's why I jumped at the chance to buy the book. It's exceptionally well written; but then I like almost everything John Grisham has written. Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading. It's not his typical court/lawyer type of book, but it was really interesting and I ejoyed it tremendously. Reading gives you the option to stop and do something else as needed, and then come right back to the same place you stopped. I'm adding this book to my collection of John Grisham's books. | |

Haven't read it yet. It's in my stack of books to read. I particularly like John Grisham's style of writing and know that two minutes into it I will be hooked. I'm a southern girl(boomer babe) and totally understand the characters, however, my husband tires of the Mississippi scene. I decided to buy this particular book because I have not read it and I think I've read just about everything by Grisham. Don't stop writing John! | |
