This was such a good book. This poor guy spent almost 30 yrs on death row for crimes he did not commit! He describes his entire experience so clearly that it left me shaken with the thought that "there but for the grace of God, goes I". What amazes me so much is how he never waivers from his true self - continuing to be loving, kind, and empathetic towards others. He remains true to himself in the worst of circumstances and is able to maintain his beautiful spirit. Our justice system is so unjust... These types of stories reinforces my belief that the death penalty should not be an option - ever! God Bless Mr Hinton - I pray that the remainder of his days are as beautiful as he is. This book grabbed hold and wouldn't let go - I read it in 2 days.
