Reversible errors Book

I am not sure how I missed this Turow when it first came out, but I am very glad to have found it. He is such a master of the legal suspense and you travel right along with his characters through all the legal technicalities…which how Arthur Raven gets the case of Squirrel, sitting on death row and claiming his innocence.

Well of course he is innocent, isn't he? I travelled all the ups and downs with Arthur. The thing I enjoyed about this is that I would decide I knew exactly what had happened, then 5 pages later be at a total loss as to what happened. All those niggling doubts!

Every character in this story had issues….and most had pretty BIG issues. They had been associated with this case and each other many years before, and now life had come full circle. They had changed, looked at life a bit differently perhaps. Turow took the reader back in time for several chapters, and though I do not usually like this in a fast paced book…it was necessary, and did not slow the story.

The title refers to not only the legal aspects of this book, but can be applied to each of the characters as well. In the legal system reversible errors can lead to a different outcome….is this true in life?

If you are looking for violent, gritty crime with larger than life beautiful heroes and sadistic villains, then this is not the book for you. If you are looking for a cast of real and flawed characters as well as a page turning suspense then grab this for your weekend read.
