It was pleasant to have two consecutive weekends off... After such a horrible schedule, it seems that at least for a while peace has again peeped into my life..Got some time to start a book last weekend and finished it this afternoon..It was nice to be back among books.. my closest companions.
It was The Rainmaker from John Grisham..A compulsively readable work with good pace and lively characters. He is a young rookie lawyer just out of a graduate college (like me :) ) and has been fired even before his graduation because of an acquisition of the law firm he got placed to (I was sometime on the verge of a similar fate :) ). He tried a lot to get a job, but was betrayed by everyone around. These betrayals lead to some avenging incident and he found himself a culprit, in an arson case. The fate forced him to take shelter of a notorious lawyer, with underworld links, and FBI all set to have a go on him. There he met an experienced paralegal who has managed to flunk his bar exams seven times. They both decide to go independent and start a firm of their own. They have some of the cases they stole from the underworld lawyer and a bad faith case against a big insurance company. He rises to challenge this firm with an experienced and renowned group of lawyers and big bucks to defend them......A must read for those who love detail narration and court trials.
