I know we all tease when one of us picks up an "airport" read, but I have to admit that "The Innocent Man" (John Grisham's non-fiction based on the murder trials in Ada, Oklahoma) has been a page-turning, horrifying account of what these men went through due to outrageous trial mistakes.
11 years in prison!! 11 years!!
Its amazing that this was happening in my backyard in good 'ole Ada from the time I was two until I graduated high school. Nuts.
I recommend it-- not flowery at all, just giving the facts, and yet I can't put it down. (Be prepared to get very angry...)

I tried to get into it!! I think it was too matter of fact and direct. I got bored.
Maybe I'll give it another try another time.
Lynn bought this book and DeWayne borrowed it....and I haven't gotten it back yet....but I certainly want to read it this summer. Grisham says he'll NEVER write another non-fiction story....too much work!!
