THE INNOCENT MAN by John Grisham - LOVED IT

Some authors, you read one book, you have read them all. Once again, John Grisham seems to be able to avoid this trap by taking a trip into the relm of non-fiction with THE INNOCENT MAN.

It reads like an episode of City Confidential



It is really a tragic story of what can happen when the law has an agenda of its own. It is a story of a man who "lost" years of his life, trying to prove his innocence, as he loses his mind in prison. I can't imagine the horror of being put in jail for a crime that I didn't commit, watching the evidence come in stacked against me, and the more I scream that I am innocent...the less I am heard. It must have been a nightmare. Grisham really tells the story and the horror of what happened to this tragic figure in a small town.


I know I am trying to survive life after John Grisham, but I am glad I picked this one up. I give it 5 of 5 stars!

I tend to stay away from best sellers - perhaps it's the leftover nonconformist in me. But After reading two John Grisham novels (this one included) I'm beginning to see why at least some books make the top 10.

Thanks!
