This book disturbed me to no end. I could not finish it when I realized Donte was going to be executed. African Americans have been losing their men and boys unjustly for hundreds of years. For Grisham to rub their noses in this reality in the name of fiction is insensitive. The idea that he was trying to make a point about the unjust system was lost in my pain. I have read every book he's written, but I'm afraid this is the last. I certainly hope some good comes from this. My consolation came after I turned off my audio book deciding not to finish the book, and my 26 year old son in Atlanta called me from the bursar's office regarding is balance at grad school.
