This is info I have been aware of for a lot of years, and I'm pleased that Mr. Stevensen has articulated it so well. I'm a 75yr old white conservative woman. Everyone should be aware of what has been happening in our legal system for years. This doesn't mean I am against the police. I grew up a poor child, but I was able to work hard to improve my life. How ever I'm sure it made quite a difference because of the color of my skin, and that's sad. This book is very well written, and I am/have been recommending it to many people. I appreciate the work Mr Stevensen and his team are doing and accomplishing. Thanks for making it more affordable for me. Sincerely Gale Munkelwitz

The best book I have ever read about the injustice of our judicial system. This book is even more relevant in today's politicaly charged climate and racism in the Trump era. Bryan pulls no puches in his descrition of incarceration of black Americans and their treatment in our prison system. I highly recomend this book to anyone who wants to get to the critical issues facing African American men in today's resurgence of racism in America.

I read The Sun Does Shine, which affected me greatly, and this is how I became aware of the great Bryan Stevenson. He truly is a modern day, Atticus Finch, only better, because he is very real and has saved countless lives. He deserves and will receive many more accolades.

This book is heart wrenching at times. It opened my eyes to things I thought I knew but I did not know enough about. Bryan Stevenson is an excellent author.

To say that I "enjoyed" reading it would be a misnomer. I was outraged by the content. It is a book that needs to be read by everyone in the U.S. The lack of a "good value" rating has to do with the price. $7.19 seems like a decent price, but the seller should have removed the $.97 Goodwill sticker before sending it out. I'm all for profit, but a 700% profit? No.
