review 1: Sides has written a true-crime thriller about James Earl Ray’s stalking and killing of Martin Luther King Jr., and the subsequent hunt for Ray before his capture. Sides paints a believable portrait of the assassin and his motivations. He also depicts a multidimensional King, as well a racially divided United States. The story is full of detail, but it didn’t become cumbersome or slow down this page-turner. Sides writing was so effective it made me feel like I was right there witnessing it all.
review 2: I finished this book yesterday, as news was breaking about another violent tragedy in our country. This book was written in 2010, about events in the late 60's and is still so relevant in 2014/2015. Overall an amazing book. And interesting page turner un... moretil the very end. I HIGHLY recommend this book. This book has really influenced my perspective on my things, (poverty, race relations, inflammatory speech, just to name a few). This is one of those books I'm so thankful to have come across. less
