Download The Confession: A Novel Audiobook

" A wonderful, could not put it down read. It kept me interested until it was over. "

" I don't know why some people don't like this book (unless you're a hardcore hang em high bubba from Texas). Well written, good pace, well sketched out characters. If you're looking for a courtroom drama this is not one but it is an impactful read, makes you think. "

" Great book, I was a bit disappointed in the middle of it, but the ending was great. It kept me guessing to the very end. Love John Grisham and he didn't disappoint this time either!! "

" More of an examination of capital punishment than a novel, but interesting nonetheless. Grisham is so good at explaining the system and human interactions. Worth reading... "

" I couldn't put this book down! A great read. "

" A good dramatic read. Grisham gets a little preachy about death penalty, but goes with one side of issue and anecdotal, emotional argument. Better to allow readers to form opinion with understatement and compelling characters on both sides. "

" Fiction novel on death penalty. A page turner that makes you think. "

" One of my Favorite Books "

" Another solid John. Grisham thriller. In the context of the upcoming US elections and the rise in Republican interest, it was fascinating (and disturbing!) to read about the strength of support for the death penalty. "

" I really like John Grisham books. This one was good, but predictable. "

" good page turner, like most Grishman books. "

" Decent read, but felt more like a heavy handed essay on the evils of the death penalty than a novel. "

" Not John's most suspenseful work, but an insightful read. "

" This is a very good book but it is also disturbing. There are parts that made me very angry. I don't want to give too many details about the story line because I don't want to give away the biggest part of the book. I think anyone who approves of the death penalty should read this book. "

" also a very good read!!! "

" The book should have taken more time to reveal it's self. Best word to describe it: obvious. Still, I like character studies and this was a character study! "

" Great book, deffinately a page turner and quick read. It makes you really think about capital punishment "

" Loved it. It gripped me right from the first page. Just before the mid-way point, I had an uneasy feeling about where the story was going and had no choice but to ride the roller coaster. It was gut-wrenching. I couldn't put it down. "

" This was a hard book to read. I wasn't sure if this was just about the death penalty or justice in Texas. "

" Good book. Lost a little steam in the end, but enjoyable. "

" I've always been a huge Grisham fan... and this book did not disappoint. "

" Fiction. Like all Grisham books, I enjoy reading them but quickly forget them. Don't know why. I remember PAINTED HOUSE and THE INNOCENT MAN the best. Some I liked, some I didn't, couldn't tell you a thing about them. "

" Typical Grisham page turner ... a bit preachy at times but gives lots of food for thought RE: death penalty and the state of our prison system. "

" High marks for Grisham's classic ability to tell a heck of a suspenseful story and to make you think about our legal system. Extra high marks for making Neosho, Missouri and Newton County a pivotal part of the plot. What! "

" I gave up on Grisham novels a few years ago but thought it was time to try again - I'm glad that I did! This is a well-written story of a young innocent black man who is sitting on death row awaiting his execution. Needless to say the author's topic for debate is capitol punishment. "

" Like The Innocent Man...it hard to put it down...every page is a thrill "

" Somewhat slow to start, but a really good book. After the first few chapters, I couldn't put it down. "

" Nobody-nobody does David vs. Goliath like Grisham! Great pacing, interesting characters, and, of course, a grasp of legal procedures like no other author. "

" Best book I've read in a long time!!! Highly recommend!!! "

" I liked it but it was a bit preachy with regard to the death penalty. The story had some good twists and the pace of the book was great. "

" Typical Grisham. Fast paced, can't put it down. "

" Loved it! Very Southern and refreshing for him to go back to this genre after venturing to NY with a recent law school grad perspective in the Associate. "

" Typical John Grisham. Knew what to expect and so I enjoyed it. "

" Great read if you have the patience. Typical of John Grisham - the detail. The characters are alive indeed. Not literally, meant when you are reading it. "

" The first half is suspenseful but once you find out what happens with the execution, it drags on until the end. Way too long! "

" First John Grisham I've read in a while. Liked it plenty. "

" I thought this book was very entertaining, but like most John Grisham books it was kind of like popcorn. It was fun to read, but that's about it. With that being said, it did bring up some things to think about (the death penalty) and is a really quick read. "

" I think I should stop reading John Grisham for a while. It's only my 3rd and I'm now considering law school! Another legal thriller masterpiece from Grisham. "
