The Rainmaker

“I was handed a beautiful set of facts, a rotten but rich defendant, an incredibly sympathetic trial judge and one lucky break after another at trial”

I often search for such statements in books. One that describes 80 - 90% of what the book is about. And this, along with our protagonist being a saviour of a pretty, helpless girl, is what the Rainmaker is about.

Life happened to Rudy Baylor. Rudy Baylor didn't move in any direction. And for this reason, I found the first half terribly boring. Later on it picked up, when he actually started using his brains, to turn around the situations against him. He does a lot of paperwork, yeah. But we don't see that, in the book, which kind of creates an impression that he did nothing. Maybe the book's just honest.
For a rookie, maybe it's just paperwork and a lucky break.
There are a few statements in the beginning, that gives us an idea of the actual practice of law. It's insightful.

It's witty, amusing, honest - a good one-time read.
