Another true crime high!

I'm not a big Grisham fan but I loved reading this book by him because the story is true. Reading true crime stories is a real high for me because it never ceases to amaze me how some real murders are so much more gruesome and unbelievable than fictional ones. I give this book 5 stars and if you're like me a real true crime junkie I suggest you take a look at Death Penalty USA: 2003 - 2004, my favorite, because it's essentially a collection of short true crime stories so basically you don't have to read the whole book to enjoy the high!

The Innocent Man

Great story but was expecting something different from John Grisham so a disapointment in that sense. Sounded like an Ann Rule book. I know authors like to stretch themselves and try different things, but when I pick up a book from an author, I go for the known style. I have many Grisham books but I won't be keeping this one.

Justice prevails....finally

The only thing I didn't like about this book was the fact that it was a true story and therefore an innocent man was nearly put to death for a crime he did not commit. The lack of evidence was appalling. Right from the beginning it was clear that Glen Gore was the guy they should have been looking at.

What irked me was the arrogance of Bill Peterson and the fact that even after DNA proved Williamson and Fritz's innocence he refused to acknowledge that they played no part in the murder.

I have no sympathy for Glen Gore, simply because he knowingly assisted in putting an innocent man in jail for a crime he himself committed.

I highly recommend this informative and well researched book.

not his best, but ok

i am a HUGE fan of grishams stories but this one kinda let me down. i'm going to tell myself that its because he told a true story, but it just laacked the excitement of his other books. the usual page-turning tendencies that i get when i have one of his books was not there...i had to push myself to finish it. if you really want to read one of his greats try the partner- ive read it like 6 times and everytime i finish in a couple days- totally cant put it down!!! i mean, reading at stop lights, taking breaks from work to read a few pages GREAT! i also like the pelican brief, the chambers, the brethren, the king of torts, and the street lawyer. they're all awesome!
