  Just plain boring

  John Grisham used to write very good "entertaining" novels.
  But this one is just plain boring. I've put it down before reaching the half: there's so much better to read, even "just to relax". So... skip it!

  it's about humanity, about death penalty, it's just more than a fiction.
  it maybe monotonous at the beginning and at the end, but I was definitely moved by the plots and did have some serious thoughts on death penalty. thump up.

  Another good read!

  Not a subtle message, but nonetheless a valid message about the horrors of capital punishment. As always a page turnmed with believable characters.

  Not his best but still an excellent read

  I've read all his fiction books, without a doubt one of the best authors for this genre. This isn't his best work in my opinion but a very good read all the same.

  Not Grisham's best, but it brings out a lot of issues about the death penalty, due process and justice. Thought provoking.

  Donte an innocent man has been sent to death, a dying man contacted a priest to confess to the murders but nobody believes him. Now it's a race to stop donte from the chair. Great characters, you really feel for donte's family, a fast paced thrill ride. One downside it drags on a bit too long.
