The Confession

The Confession
By: John Grisham

Description on the back: In 1988, in the small East Texas city of Sloan, Travis Boyette abducted, raped, and strangled a popular high school cheerleader. He buried her body so that it would never be found, then watched in amazement as police and prosecutors arrested and convicted Donte Drumm, a local football star, and marched him off to death row. Now nine years have passed. Travis has just been paroled in Kansas for a diferent crime; Donte is four days away from his execution. Travis suffers from an inoperable brain tumor. For the first time in his miserable life, he decides to do what's right and confess. But how can a guilty man convince lawyers, judges, and politicians that they're about to execute an innocent man?

What I think about this book: If you want to see what John Grisham is all about, READ THIS BOOK! You might feel like you've already read all the good parts after reading the description on the back, but there is so much that happens in a short amount of time in this book that will make is so hard to put down! Trust me, if you're looking for a well-written, gripping book, read this one! You will also look at the death penalty in a new light. It starts fast, and ends fast. I give it two thumbs up! And my big toe too!
