The Innocent Man, John Grisham's first nonfiction book, is the story of Ron Williamson's wrongful murder conviction and twelve years on death row. Although The Innocent Man has been hailed as a real life legal thriller, it is far from thrilling. While Williamson's story is sad and certainly a miscarriage of justice, Grisham does not do a good job building suspense. In fact, I found The Innocent Man boring and had a tough time finishing it. Grisham recounts details well in this book, but has not produced the sort of page turner that his fans have come to love.
