The Innocent Man Book Review. John grisham’s first and, to date, only work of nonfiction, is an exploration of small town justice gone terribly awry. Ron isn’t the only person’s story that will make you question the legal proceedings.
His first work of nonfiction will fascinate and frustrate readers as they ponder an american legal system run amuck. This is grisham's nineteenth book, and in some respects it may be his most important. Criminal and injustice in a small town!
It gives the account of ron williamson who was a previous baseball player from his high school days.
It is a true story. The innocent man is the true story of ron williamson, who spent 18 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Like turow, grisham realizes that the most powerful argument against the death penalty is that it kills the innocent as well as the guilty, a case that he makes simply by telling williamson and fritz's story. It's exemplary qualities are highlighted because everything in the book happens to be true.
