    Enjoyed the book. The story took several unexpected turns and revealed a side of homelessness that isn't often talked about.

    I can't believe John Grisham wrote this. It's true story, and interesting enough, for sure! But, the story seemed very dragged out. A shorter book could have told the story well.

    Quite the eye-opener on how injust the justice system can be.

    This story needed to be told but it was long & sometimes very boring. I couldn't wait for it to be over.

    I think Grisham's first go at non-fiction - and while it does not run at thriller pace I still read it in one day. Shocking subject of a wrongful conviction.

    I always enjoy some light reading and Grisham typically does a good job with fiction. The fact that this book was non-fiction, I thought he did a really good job of tying the story together.

    Written in 2005 or 2006. The story is disturbing enough that you would assume it is fiction, but in fact it is nonfiction. From the jacket of the book, and 100% true..."If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you." I hope the problems highlighted in this true story of an innocent man, who ends up on death row for 10 years despite no real evidence linking him to the crime, are unique to Oklahoma.
