Review: 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."
