I really enjoy the book, but two things would make it better. One: the characters almost all rather one-note. Two: Two: if it had been written from a neutral POV instead of an anti-death penalty stance. IMO it would be more influential if Grisham remained neutral let readers decide for themselves instead of constantly referencing that he's right and pro-death penalty people are wrong. You convince NO ONE that way.

After the last chapter, it's kind of hard to believe there's over 150 pages left in the book. I wish some of the characters were a bit more complex, but other than that this is a really good book.

This would make a really good movie.

I bought this book shortly after Troy Davis' execution. Thus far I'm enjoying it; I especially like the way Grisham deals with the victims' mother. I hate how so many times the victims' family seems more concerned with someone dying in retaliation for their victims' death than they are with making 100% sure the person being executed is even guilty.
