Tami C. (ladyfire) reviewed A very worthwhile read on 9/29/2008

Helpful Score: 1

This true story was not only very compelling and magnificently written, but it gave me chills. John Grisham does a wonderful job of showing us just how easy and even, perhaps, commonplace it is for innocent people to be railroaded through trial and conviction for murders they did not commit. The rather boring and mundane details of an unwieldy appeals court process that drags on for years becomes anything BUT boring and mundane as you hold your breath hoping on each page for true justice to rear its head. Skillfully, the true details of the crime are revealed to us as the story progresses, so that no questions seem left unanswered and you walk away from this book feeling vindication and a supreme sense of satisfaction that sometimes the system really does work...finally.
