If a nearly 600-page book about a hideously tragic miscarriage of justice can be a page-turner, this book is it. It's hard to put down: the story is told so grippingly that I feel compelled to keep reading. It's a great book - an excellent and insightful exploration of this tragedy - and also hard to read: the injustice and inhumanity that Thompson chronicles so unflinchingly is disheartening but also uplifting.
