"The Innocent Man," a true crime novel by John Grisham.

[raccoon]

It's read on Radio Reader now, started yesterday.

I've already requested this story on audiobook from my local library.

Anybody read it?


"John Grisham tackles nonfiction for the first time with The Innocent Man, a true tale about murder and injustice in a small town (that reads like one of his own bestselling novels). The Innocent Man chronicles the story of Ron Williamson, how he was arrested and charged with a crime he did not commit, how his case was (mis)handled and how an innocent man was sent to death row. Grisham's first work of nonfiction is shocking, disturbing, and enthralling--a must read for fiction and nonfiction fans. We had the opportunity to talk with John Grisham about the case and the book, read his responses below. --Daphne Durham"

1. Yes, I read it. It is a facinating and sad story. His prose is very

methodical - not like he's telling a story - more like he is listing
events. His opinion/bias is filtered throughout.

My biggest problem, which I wrote the publisher about (never heard
back) was that they put pictures in the middle that immediately
spoiled the rest of the book for me.

If you got it on audio - shouldn't be a problem.
