What if you were convicted for a crime you had nothing to do with? Pretty tough. How about being sentenced to death for something you had nothing to do with? Sounds unheard of to me. John Grisham's The Innocent Man grabbed my opinion because it was a true story, and I liked this book very much.
Ron Williamson, the main character of this book, at one time had it all. He was the next Mickey Mantle and was drafted to play baseball straight out of high school. After alchohal abuse problems and many other life problems Ron's life was turned around. Dennis Fritz was one of Ron's friends and they would go out together to clubs to drink and party. The other main character would have to be Debbie Carter, who was murdered.
The style of this book shows both sides to the story, which is one aspect of the book I like the most. It is a true story, which makes it even more interesting to me with pictures of everything that your reading in the middle of the book. from the begining, the book tells somewhat what really happened, which I liked.
The theme of this book is that you shouldn't just judge people on their behavier. Everything has to be based off facts, and nothing can just be based off what people think. Of course, everyone will make their judgements about people, but nobody should ever be able to be convicted of a crime off these.
I would for sure reccomend this book to anybody.
