Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books The Confession
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFirst time in paperback
An innocent man is about to be executed.
Only a guilty man can save him.
In 1998, in the small East Texas city of Sloan, Travis Boyette abducted, raped, and strangled a popular high school cheerleader. He buried her body so that it would never be found, then watched in amazement as police and prosecutors arrested and convicted Donté Drumm, a local football star, and marched him off to death row.
Now nine years have passed. Travis has just been paroled in Kansas for a different crime; Donté is four days away from his execution. Travis suffers from an inoperable brain tumor. For the first time in his miserable life, he decides to do what’s right and confess. But how can a guilty man convince lawyers, judges, and politicians that they’re about to execute an innocent man?

***If you have not read the book, but intend to, do not read my review.***I loved the first half of the book because of the race to correct an injustice - to do the right thing. I hated the second half of the book because they didn't make it on time. Donte Drumm, an innocent man, was put to death because of the need of the racists in his town to exact revenge. And that happens in real life, not just in books. Innocent people are put to death and the state just basically says, "oops". That isA good plot, but it was ruined for me by the predictable political liberal bias. Every one in the book was characterized as a bad stereotype except the self proclaimed "radical" liberal lawyer (his main character) and those who Grisham deemed worthy. There was only one right answer in this book, and everyone else was not just wrong, but evil. And I'm not sure what role Keith's Christianity played in this story, but everyone else's Christianity was demonized, which was offensive to me. The mother
A very strong and evocative book. Thought-provoking.
Just like the 'The Chamber' by the same author, 'The Confession' too deals with the highly controversial issue of the Death Penalty. But while the former had a plot, storyline, strong characters, this book reads a more like a political statement where the story, the characters,all have been relegated to the background. The book feels long, the characters feel one-dimensional,the plot is convoluted and the preaching gets repetitive till the point of boredom. Grisham uses the problem of wrongful
An innocent man is about to be executed. Only a guilty man can save him.When? Who? What?But this never happened ! The innocent guy gets mercilessly executed while the criminal is still on the loose, hiding away. It is only when he realizes that he's got terminal brain tumor and will die soon anyway, that he thinks of THE CONFESSION, a change of his heart a little too late!! Painfully with tear-brimming eyes, I braced and watched(I could feel it) Donte getting executed, for nothing, spending
When you pick up a Grisham book its like taking a big gamble. I find his books to be either amazing or just plain awful. For me this one leans towards the latter. Im not going to go into too much detail about what the novel is about as there are plenty of reviews already written about it. I will say that this novel deals with the highly controversial issue of the Death Penalty. I have to say that this book did not move slowly but fast. Too fast at times. Grisham goes back and forth from the
I have read or listened to almost every one of John Grisham's books. This is the first book that he's written that has literally scared the crap out of me. If the book is based on reality, then our legal system is seriously flawed and Texas should be removed from being one of the 50 states of the USA. Unlike many other men who will talk at the radio or TV, I am a fairly calm and level headed person who generally keeps his opinions to himself. This book had me yelling at the reader to stop with
