Wow! I had seen the movie that was based on this book, so I was pretty sure I would like the book, but I was amazed by how well thought out this book was! Bryan Stevenson presented all the details of each case in a way that was interesting and never boring. He explained things very well and cited his sources. Even though he has every right to be bitter, he isn’t. He gave so many people hope when there was none. I loved this book so much!
