This is a very difficult book to read. And I'm talking about the subject matter. In the 1980's a young lawyer heads to Atlanta then to Alabama to help the deathrow inmates. Bryan Stevenson tells of the injustice, lies and deceit of several cases he covered. I have to admit that I wanted to come through the pages and throttle several people. Heartbreaking and also uplifting. We need more people in this world like the author.

Wow. What a read. A must-read. A real eye opener. So good and needed to be written. Bryan Stevenson has done this book justice itself.

Reading books like this leave me feeling so angry, sad and despairing. Where is the justice in our justice systems?
This book is a must read to those interested in the justice system. It is so well written and eye-opening and is a terribly sad reflection of our criminal justice system. The stories are heart wrenching and hard to swallow, especially when you come to realize that justice for some is NOT blind. I am so thankful that warriors such as Bryan Stevenson fight the good fight every day.
