So during my Sophomore year of college he visited my Criminal Legal Systems class at the The U of Iowa. There was a play on our campus titled "Exonerated" and he was a guest for that. Our teacher invited him to our class, he came and talked to our class of 30 students His story almost brought tears to all of our eyes in our class, it was truly amazing to actually hear his story from him personally instead of just reading it, there was a lot of emotion while he told his story. This book is an excellent book and I would recommend people reading this book! Easy read as well.

This book was very interesting to me. I live in Maryland and I remember this case. It was heartbreaking at times for the victims and for Mr. Bloodsworth.
