review 1: As a former reading teacher, I feel quite guilty about something: I judge books by their covers. And this book had a colorful, photographic cover and an even more interesting title. So, when Borders was closing last summer, I was able to buy a hardcover copy for just one dollar. It was a dollar well spent.Eric Volz unravels the story of being framed for murdering his former girlfriend, Doris. At the time, Volz was a young American living and working in Nicaragua, a place where he, with the help of a partner, founded and ran a successful magazine. This is the horrifying true story of what took place after he is framed for murder and unjustly held in the gristly jail system of Nicaragua. What was especially unique about this memoir is that each book contains a code the r... moreeader can use to access various photos, documents and videos online associated with this story. Very interesting. And, it is neat to see that Volz now networks with others that were in/ are in his same position of wrongful imprisonment in other countries.
review 2: What an amazing and powerful story! This book was recommended by a friend for a vacation read, which I had a very hard time putting down once I started. I often had to remind myself this was the true story of Eric Volz and not one of the typical thrillers I usually read. Throughout the book my emotions got the best of me as I read this. I highly recommend this book to anyone - very inspiring how he never gave up despite what he was fighting through, be it the prision, judical system or his health. less
