Should be required reading for every single American.

I struggled with the audio version and found the book format to be much more impactful.

Quite possibly the best book I've read in several years. It's by no means an easy read. It's depressing, disheartening, stressful, and brought me to tears more than once. However the book ultimately carries a greater message of hope and resilience. This is a book every person should read.

Wow. I learned and I thought deeply and I cried and I was moved to talk about it to anyone who would let me. I've not seen a more reasoned and compassionate argument for change in our “justice” system than this. A must read and re-read.

Wow! What an eye opener! I read this for a challenge and I normally stick to fiction books but went outside my comfort zone to read this. It's hard to believe the difference between life in prison in NZ (which is not actually life) and life in prison in America!

Immensely readable, at times devastatingly sad and others frustratingly cruel; staggeringly hopeful.

The miscarriage of justice is unreal. If this book doesn't change your perspective and encourage you to stop talking about action and actually do something, I don't know what will.
