bookworm attack.

currently reading john grisham’s a painted house and jennifer weiner’s in her shoes. yes, i’ve watched the movie already and i love it! the book is a good read too. just being a lil’ slow on the john grisham’s cuz i have to pay close attention to each and every word. tis is my first john grisham book and i have very mixed feelings bout it.

sometimes, i find the book a very interesting read cuz the story was set in a very different era and community that I have never really known and understand. other times, i wish that the story wont be dragged too long or i’d seriously get bored. it tells the story of luke (love the name btw, it’s so american =D), a 7-year-old kid (bummer, why cant it be a cute young adolescent hunk? luke would sound perfect!) who stays in a farmhouse and whose family owns a huge cotton farming business. one summer, two groups of migrant workers came through the arkansas delta to work in his family’s cotton farm. and suddenly, mysteries started to unfold in luke’s world. he witnessed a brutal murder in town. he also found out dat a beautiful young woman that he secretly admires ignites in forbidden passions. soon after, a baby is born to a young girl staying close to his farmhouse and she claimed dat the father is none other than luke’s young uncle (only 19) who was away in korea fighting the war. then, someone has begun furtively painting the bare clapboards of his farmhouse in gleaming white. something the hill people (his migrant workers) like to do with their houses back home. and as young luke watches the world around him,(he seems to knoe a lot for a 7-year-old btw) he unravels secrets that could shatter lives and change his family and town forever.

maybe i’m just not used to reading books from this genre. you wouldn’t believe me when i say dat i haven’t even read dan brown’s the da vincci code yet! i thought the language was kinda hard to digest =P i hope i’ll get to it later..haha!

i am sure i wont regret this john grisham’s book. its just gonna take me longer to finish it. after all, i have two more of his titles =P
