Book Review: The Confession – John Grisham

John Grisham is one of those authors that I can’t wait to read his latest work. This book came out last week and I waited until this past Monday to buy it so I would finish the one that I was currently reading. It was hard to be in a number of airports on my previous trips seeing this book on the shelf and not buying it. I knew I would be leaving on a trip again on the 8th and would save it for then. The Confession – John Grisham addresses the whole system around the death penalty and guilt or innocence.


Book Cover excerpt:
For every innocent man sent to prison, there is a guilty one left on the outside. He doesn’t understand how the police and prosecutors got the wrong man, and he certainly doesn’t care. But how can a guilty man convince lawyers, judges, and politicians that they’re about to execute an innocent man?

Personal Reflections:
Oh man. This was intense and well worth the price of buying the hardcover version. You can believe that this actually happened, what a story. There were two very different endings that I thought were coming and it was amazing how John Grisham actually wrapped it up. I almost gave up reading this author a few books back, but this one will definitely get me to buy his next.
