    Thrilling and terrifying!

    Another 'wonderful' Grisham, though 'wonderful' is not the best choice of adjective. Grisham strikes terror into the reader. He is still onto the question of the death penalty, and the danger of killing an innocent man. This is a great book. I was literally glued to my phone because I needed to keep listening. Read perfectly by Scott Sowers. Do not miss this one!

    Not Your Mother's Grisham

    It's good to see John Grisham exploring different aspects of law practice. I liked the fact that this story was not a "beginning, middle, and end" plot, with a giant chase scene at the end. The book is character-driven, not led by the plot, and I prefer that. I disagree with the reviewer who said the book takes forever to "get off the ground", as I was into it from the start.

    I like Grisham's writing method of gently easing the reader into the story and the situation, rather than starting off running with a big conversation or event where you don't know any of the characters and their contexts. Grisham is excellent at providing context, and the reader never feels as though he/she doesn't really know a character or can't place that character. Grisham never gives any superlative qualities to any character, and none is considered more "special" than any other by virtue of looks, income, money, status.

    I would like to see Grisham explore different geographical areas other than small towns in the South, but I think that's what he knows best and where he feels most comfortable getting into detail.

    I don't think Grisham needed access to an execution in order to describe the scene. It would be easy enough to create the details and emotions (but then I am a creative) if your imagination is working 100%.

    I also liked that the resolution to the story was not of a "perfect world" in which everyone gets a prize. The realistic descriptions of the issues surrounding capital punishment, and the pathos, anguish and gut-wrenching emotional contortions of the principal characters simply added to my interest, rather than detracting. I was never of a mind to comment to myself "oh please stay away from that, it's too painful".

    I would caution the narrator not to read the female parts in a simulated falsetto. Just makes the women all sound like old "fuddy-duddies".

    I confess, I loved it!

    This book held my interest from the beginning. I find it interesting that Grisham gives us another book about an innocent man wrongly accused. In this novel, the reader comes to know and understand and feel for the main characters, and rightly despise the true murderer. The characters have depth and are driven by their convictions. The only criticism I have is that I wish Grisham would have given the mother of the victim more dimension, because she was presented so singularly, I found it difficult to feel as much sympathy as I wished to, for her and her family.
    Otherwise, I was engaged and interested throughout this book. Very few authors can keep you feeling so "on the edge" for so much of the book, just waiting as each chapter goes by to see if the accused can avoid execution. The reader finds him or herself waiting for those in power to listen to and act positively on the appeals and motions. I didn't want to stop listening, I had to know what would happen.
    The ending was wrapped up neatly, maybe a bit too quickly or tidily. Regardless, I liked this book.

    Big Grisham Fan - Very Disappointed

    I'm a big Grisham fan and have read many of his books numerous times. The Confession, however, was a huge disappointment. The book takes forever to get off the ground and seems more like a narrative in opposition to the death penalty than a legal thriller. If you're new to this author, read some of his earlier material and skip this one.

    Hurts

    Extremely harsh story and Grisham does not hold back - this makes me wonder... who let him stand by their side to go through this experience? This book has ran the gamut with my emotions - highly recommended to you who can handle truth...

    Captivating

    I usually listen to my audiobooks only in the car, but The Confession was so good I couldn't turn it off. Very credit-worthy!

    Wow! Makes you think!

    As a lifelong conservative and a 21 year veteran of the military, I am finding it more and more difficult to believe how crooked our justice system can be. It pains me to say, but after much discussion, debate and reading stories like this, these do not seem to be isolated incidents. I understand that this is fiction, but a litle research will show that Texas Oklahoma and Alabama are full of these types of cases. Grisham seems to have learned a great deal from the research required to write the innocent man, and that research came in handy for this. Although a work of fiction, there is more truth than any conservative would care to admit!

    Enjoyable listen.

    This book provides a fairly interesting treatment of the death penalty. Grisham develops the main characters fairly well, and the plot is interesting and compelling. Grisham books are always smooth and well crafted.

    I raced through the book, although a few parts seemed to drag just a bit. I think I have heard or read all of Grisham's books, and this one seems a little different. However, I still get each one as soon as it comes out, and I am never sorry that I spent my credits on Grisham. Thumbs up.

    A Must Buy

    I have been listen to books from audible for three years now and have mostly listen to books by Dean Koontz and Jeffrey Dreaver. This book has opened my eyes to John Grisham and can not wait to get another book. I found myself searching for time to listen and not wanting it to end. Great Listen.

    Grisham needed another payday

    Normally a Grisham fan, but this book was simply boring. It also dripped with liberal politics. I am pretty liberal, but I don't need to be hit over the head with some of the themes in this book. Simply unimpressed.

    total garbage

    A window into the authors political views on the death penalty... Much like Glenn Beck the author took a tired old story and used it to push an agenda.
    A waste of time and money

    A Must for Fans - and future fans....

    Grisham knows all the tricks - he is a splendid narrator, and the unusual point of view has its own attraction. You may have heard it all before - but not in this way. The reader is taken on an emotional roller-coaster ride, and beware - there are disappointments along the way, but in the end they don't count.

    Es geht tief unter die Haut

    Es geht sehr tief unter die Haut und sollte Pflichtlektüre für alle Befürworter der Todesstrafe werden. Toller Sprecher.
