读后感
非常喜欢John Grisham的书，故事情节很吸引人，尤其是他的很多作品都是由Tom Cruise演的。
评分这是我第一次看John Grisham的书，捧在手里觉得书好厚688页。不能确定我能不能坚持看完。 记得当时是大三暑期里，和一个学弟一起住在一个四室一厅的公寓里，大家都放假回家了，就我们俩留下来在Sunflower英语培训中心兼职。晚上回去由于只有我一台电脑，不想让他很无聊，而我...

cruel and unusual,这位前KKK的Sam被执行死刑的那一刻，真的还蛮想哭的><,death penalty永远是个悖论，无论是这里的gas chamber还是lethal injection还是bullet
评分what's the difference for killing an old man for the crime he committed 30 years ago especially considering he was only an accomplice? Those people witness his execution make no difference with the lynce they committed back to 50s.
评分一直抱着Sam会走出来的心态在看书。
评分Great piece. And now I literally hate Mississippi.
评分Sam描述他在监狱里查资料看到毒气室处死犯人时的过程，想起国土安全Quinne遭的罪心疼啊，比毒气处死犯人更早的电击死刑犯也不人道。看到Adam跟Sam讲述Eddie的生活及死亡，把我看哭了。黑人爸爸那段，哎！等Lee讲家族历史和相册曝光后，开始同情Sam。看后半部分基本一直哭
