Dear Gentle Readers,
I cannot find too much about this wonderful artist. None of this is mine. I claim nothing here. My information is from Wikipedia and the photos of his works are from MutualArt.com. My only intention here is to put his name and work out there for the rest of us to enjoy.
Hugs,
Carol

The Testament by John Grisham
The first two chapters of this Grisham novel are reason enough to read the book. A very rich, cranky, odious old guy hates all his heirs, so he devises a plan to get all his children onboard to his present will and mental condition via closed circuit television, then switches wills, and does a header off the balcony.
Adventures in the Amazon by a newly dried out addict, native tribes unaccustomed to white people, and a missionary doctor who is happy with her life just the way it is, oh, and eleven billion dollars up for grabs, are a few of the highlights.
This was not his best work. He got preachy toward the end. The story lost steam. It almost seemed the first two chapters were written at a different time by the John Grisham we know and love. But Grisham is still a good read.
