"A Painted House" is different from the other John Grisham books i've read..
The book describes, the life of 7 year old Luke Chandler, an Arkansas farm boy growing up in the midst of the cotton fields. Luke is full of curiosity and mischief, as he witnesses life & death around him, causing him to make very adult decisions about keeping secrets. Chandler narrates the story.
The ending of the book is somewhat left hanging.. I would love to know more about Luke's life after moving to another place, away from the home & friends he grew up with.. I wonder if his uncle Ricky would show up after learning that he's got a kid.. I wonder what happened next.....
I can't say that I fell in love with the book. I've been reading a lot Grisham's courtroom dramas that i found it hard to see him writing a totally different kind of story.. In the end, this book somehow made me laugh and cry, and appreciate life..
