review 1: When Michael Morton's wife was savagely beaten to death in 1986, the sheriff in Williamson County, Texas, pinned the murder on him and he was sentenced to life in prison. Twenty-five years later he was finally set free when DNA evidence was brought to light. This was a powerful story. I was horrified by the crime and the way he was treated, and then inspired by the way he was able to overcome it. His courage and his strength were amazing. I highly recommend this book.
review 2: This was one of those rare nonfiction books that I devoured over a single weekend. Morton’s account of his wrongful conviction for the murder of his wife and then his subsequent 25-year incarceration in some of Texas’ scariest prisons is riveting and, seemingly, quite accurate. Throu... moreghout the work Morton’s dry humor helps to propel the story forward and defuse some of the angst in his account. I found his writing style both honest and well-balanced. less
