This was such a shocking read. I mean it was very obvious from the beginning that the author was extremely biased, but even so, it’s impossible to deny that there was quite a bit of injustice that occurred. I’d be really interested in reading a book with the opposite viewpoint. I just have such a hard time believing that so many people (judges, jurors, Supreme Court justices, etc.) were so convinced that these boys were/are guilty. There’s got to be more to it. Worth the read though. (

this is the first time that I find myself not sure what I want to say. did I enjoy the book (yes) but at the same time having close to 500 foot notes to go through at the end would not be the way I would set up this book. it is really not kindle friendly. (

Devil's Knot will haunt me for the rest of my days. I guess it got to me because when I read this my kids were very young and the thought that this could happen to anyone really kept me up at night. I hated reading it and loved reading it at the same time. There were so many things that were done wrong during the investigation. It's terrifying to know that the justice system can screw up so badly. This novel isn't just a story, it's a deep look into an investigation gone wrong. (

My rating has decreased after first reading, although as far as true crime novels go this is an exceptional view/telling. (

I have always had so much faith in the judicial system in this country and still have a lot of respect for it. This case throws that for a loop.
3 very young boys are murdered and mutilated in Arkansas and without a shred of hard evidence, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley, children themselves, were tried and convicted. This book goes through all the information about the charges, how they were applied at trial and the trials themselves.
Serious, serious misjustice. (
