The Confession
by John Grisham
This is an interesting book. Some of John Grisham's books have an obvious agenda and this is one of them. He is against Capital Punishment, which is a reasonable opinion. I don't know how I feel about it. Having grown up in a conservative Mormon family and state, I have feelings in favor of it for practical reasons. We pay a great deal of tax money to support these men and women in prison. But as he points out in the book, often more public money is spent it the years of appeals to save these people, than if we just supported them for a life sentence.
I won't tell you much about the book because I don't want to spoil it for you. But it is about a young pastor who has a visit from a man who confides in him that he committed the crime that another man is going to die for in just a few days in another state. It is an exciting and upsetting tale. With a surprise ending. Enjoy!
Until next time ;o)
