Book Review of Dead Man Walking

Dead Man Walking
Dead Man Walking
Author: Sister Helen Prejean
Genre: Nonfiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


The book presents plenty of reasons for abolishing the death penalty. Most important is realizing the dignity, granted by God, in every human being, and not snuffing out that spark. Unfortunately, I don't think Sister Helen Prejean did all that great a job of really showing the human face of either of the two men she helped through their last days.
