2020: An absolutely fantastic read about an absolutely heart-wrenching true story. If this book doesn't make you anti-death penalty, I don't know what will.

I learned a lot about what life is like in prison, and in particular, on death row. Hinton is a natural storyteller, even with help writing this book from Lara Love Hardin. The book moves along at a good pace, even though the storyline is predictably lopsided (a lot from before he went to prison, and a lot at the end of his time in prison).

There were several times where I needed to put the book down and take a minute to wrap my head around the atrocities that were happening. The fact that one out of ten people on death row is statistically innocent is just mind-blowing.

The work that Bryan Stevenson does with the Equal Justice Initiative is straight up incredible, and the man deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. This is a great complement to Just Mercy, and an excellent addition to any anti-racism reading list.
