I rather enjoyed the way in which Myers writes the book in the form of a movie, complete with camera movements and descriptions of things. It makes the book feel like a tense courtroom drama. This book raises interesting questions concerning the ethics and believability of witnesses (especially those who are offered rewards in exchange for their testimony), biases and prejudice, police behavior and what should happen to avoid biases, guilt, justice, identity, and so on. I enjoyed those questions that the books read and it has got me thinking a lot about our understanding of guilt and the purpose of prisons.
