The Rainmaker, John Grisham's sixth novel, follows Rudy Baylor, an idealistic young lawyer who takes on a corrupt insurance company in a David-and-Goliath courtroom battle, and was adapted in 1997 into the acclaimed film directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Matt Damon. The Los Angeles Times called The Rainmaker "an indictment of the legal system from law school to the jury's verdict." Entertainment Weekly wrote that "if The Rainmaker's outcome is a bit predictable, Grisham's vivid minor characters and near-Dickensian zeal for mocking pomposity and privilege are apt to endear him to his many readers all over again." Publishers Weekly wrote that "this bittersweet tale, the author's quietest and most thoughtful, shows that Grisham's imagination can hold its own in a courtroom as well as on the violent streets outside."
