Loved this book! It examined the consequences of the death penalty when one innocent person could be executed. Definitely a page turner. Good story, recommend to anyone with an open mind.

Even thouugh I really didn't like this book, I would recommend it. It is just not my style of reading.

It started slow for me, but at some point I found it difficult to put down. It was very thought-provoking, especially on the issue of capital punishment.

John Grisham has written another brilliantly moving work that shows his passion on a subject. Just like Runaway Jury dealt with gun control, The Confession deals with the death penalty. The main characters are very interesting and complex and he manages to grab your attention pretty early. Will the wrong man be executed? Will they get there in time? My only complaint was that it didn't need to be as long as it was. The novel was 418 pages (in hardback) and could easily have just been about 300. Grisham got a little too detailed when describing the aftermath of the events. However, this is a great book for those wanting to have a serious political discussion based book club meeting. Warning though, if you do not want such a discussion this may not be the book for you. Grisham definitely had an agenda while writing this book and it will spark some serious discussion about capital punishment. If you don't think your members can discuss this issue peacefully, it may not be a good idea.

Used to like John Grisham novels, but now all his novels seem to have the same theme just different settings.

An eye opener to the criminal justice system and the explosive topic of capital punishment in the United States. I think isolation is the cruelest punishment of all. Donte Dunn suffered because of this prison rule.
