1. Repelled yet Fascinated
I've come to expect great writing from John Grisham, and he did not disappoint with the short story, "Fetching Raymond." The story is told from a point of view that is rarely considered. The Graney family dynamics are similar to those played out by many American families; but they are vastly different. The description, "dysfunctional" barely scrapes the surface when describing this clan. Reading about the family's actions and reactions to each other makes a great story. While reading, I found I was repelled yet fascinated by the characters, and I just wanted to keep turning the pages to find out what happened next.
I recommend this short story; I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of the short story collection from the book, "A Ford County Story."
2. short story
Good story from master storyteller John Grisham. Just make sure you realize it is taken from the previous book, "Ford County: Stories" from 2009. So if you already have that one, you will be purchasing the one story again. If you don't have the novel, you will enjoy this short story from that collection.

Great Storytelling
I love John Grisham so my opinion is biased. Fetching Raymond is the first of several short stories in Ford County. Not your typical Grisham but totally worth the read.
