Customer Reviews

An Amazing Read!

This book touched my heart deeply. The author makes the reader feel the injustices his clients have suffered, as well as his own. It also introduces some readers to a side of bigotry we haven't experienced. It makes you think, feel, and most importantly, care. I couldn't put it down. When the movie came out, I went to see it. And I cried during it, too, especially during the court scene with the dog. This book forever makes you recognize the many inequities of prejudice & just might inspire more people to work for justice as well. I am so glad I read it!

Revolutionary

Bryan Stevenson clearly and concisely explains the problems with our justice system in a truly human and understanding way. I almost never thought about the death penalty, but reading this book has opened my eyes.
