Reversible Errors – Scott Turow
While well written, this book belongs in a category I sometimes refer to as bubble-gum books and others sometimes refer to as grocery-store novels. Essentially, the book keeps my brain engaged on a very low level, much like chewing gum does. There is no thinking required and the pages turn by very quickly. This is not my way of saying that I didn’t like this book. That really isn’t the case despite how improbable the plot is.
A corporate attorney is assigned to a death-row inmate for the purposes of preparing any final appeals. Despite the inmates written and video-taped confession, he is now claiming innocence. From there the novel follows along so many plot twists and turns that it just sort of makes you shake your head.
This book isn’t on any list of mine, it just happened to cost a dollar at the thrift store so I grabbed it.
