评分There is nothing more true than that all the things of the world have a limit to their existence. As to the outrage aroused by Yao Jiaxin’s case, it died out inevitably at the moment of his execution. It sounds a little bit counter-intuitive, but people s...
评分此书乃John Grisham的处女作,看了他的很多作品后,还是最喜欢这本。 以下是我对本书的感慨: 本书很有哈伯·李的《杀死一只知更鸟》的影子,这本1961年出版的经典小说至今仍遭受各种人的口诛笔伐。想必本书受这本名著的影响颇深。 先提一下John Grisham,美国著名庭审罪案...
