Absolutely love Ernest Hill's writing!!! I love this book and I love his messages throughout the book! (never give up or give in)
I really wanted to like this book more than I did. The story was good, but for some reason it did not flow as well as I thought it could have. Not a bad book would have been a good book had it had a better flow to it.
I could not get interested in this book.
I liked this book and the message of undying love that one has for their child. It just proves how most would go through hell to protect their offspring. I cried a couple of times throughout the book because of the displayed emotions by the characters. I will definitely look for more of the author's work, as I like his style of writing.
I really liked this book. I was worried that it might be full of bad language and sketchy things, but it really wasn't! It's a good story of a father who tries to redeem himself when he discovers his son is in prison and on death-row. It kept you guessing as to "who-dunnit" the entire time...but with a deep sense of satisfaction and justice when they finally figure it out!
This was beautifully done. It is a change from the regular trashy stereotypical black novel.
i am somewhat impress about the father trying to free his son of a crime he didn't commit. Good book.
