Clearly written, filled with stories of justice and injustice, and infused with wisdom and humanity. Well done, Preet!

Preet is great and I love his thoughtful takes on just about everything.

I nursed this one along for most of the year because reading about heavier topics isn't really my jam right now because the world weighs me down when I think about it too much.

Also - go listen to his podcasts: Stay Tuned and Café Insider.

I listened to the audiobook, which was honestly like a 9ish hour long version of his podcast. Which is exactly what I wanted. In terms of content, I genuinely liked it. Lots of stories, explanations of how the Justice system is supposed to work, stuff like that. Don't know that I could have read this as quickly, but it was genuinely interesting.

I started this book cynical as hell. It seems like every wannabe TV personality or political pundit has this book sitting somewhere behind them for their quarantine zoom meeting background. Typically those books are fluffy feel good garbage.

But this book won me over. Preet seems like a genuinely decent man. He takes us on a pretty respectable tour of law and criminal justice, interspersing it with impressive first hand accounts of cases that he’s been a part of.
