Just Fascinating!. Very interesting book regarding the abuse and misuse of the American justice system! I am thrill that children and the poor has an office of guardian angels looking out for them! Very good book!

Fighting to Live. In every sector of American Life we are becoming more and more disconnected from our neighbors. That disconnect finds its way into bad policies that only further widens the gulf. This book illustrates how that disconnect leads to a disastrous human toll and the cruelest injustices in the legal system. This book, The 13th, The New Jim Crow, and many others often leave me gutted of hope at one end, and tearfully joyful for the few stories where things do work out. Everyone needs to hear these stories and truths of where we fail each other. Everyone needs to ask themselves why do we destroy each other so ruthlessly? Everyone needs to ask themselves, am I really safer when a miscarriage of justice is allowed to go unchecked? The sad thing is that Mr. Stevenson’s memoir highlights one key blinding point in modern society. It costs us more to uphold systems of racial and socio-economic divide, then it would if we provided the resources and funding to education, mental health, and social safety nets. If we did those things, then we would be truly safer.

Just mercy. a book which should cause each reader to ask, How can we, the USA, reproach other nations and countries of human rights violations, when we as a nation are so guilty of the same crimes? The pot is calling the kettle black.

Incredible. He is an incredible man who reminds us all that we need change

Outstanding and so emotional. While you read you can’t help but put yourself in the story. You’ll cry but also smile. It’s so real and amazing!

Read NOW. Great book. So glad I read this. Can’t wait to see the movie 👍🏾

Heartbreaking and hopeful. Sad, heartbreaking, and hopeful. This book opens the door to the unjust and shameful behaviors that have gone on too long. I live in Alabama and had no idea these practices exist. Just today the news reported the submission of a bill to reinstate the electric chair. How anyone thinks that is just punishment for any human being baffles and saddens me. I so admire Mr. Stevenson and his commitment for justice and change. I will not forget the words I have read here.

Well done. Eye opening and inspirational book! Highly recommend.

Just Mercy. Amazing! It should be required reading in all high schools. For us old folks too.

Just Mercy’s call for both. This book was so gut wrenching and very well written. I enjoyed both the book and audio book as Bryan Stevenson is the reader. “I am here!”

Required Reading. Every American must read this.

Thank you.. Keep beating the drum for justice. You are bringing light and hope to seemingly hopeless situations.

Amazing. Words can’t express. Everyone should read at least once.

Just mercy. Engaging and well written, this is informative and will stay in your heart.

Made me cry. I just love books about justice like this

Really great read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was engaging, informative, and thought-provoking.

Loved it. justice for all

Not worth the read. Horrible.

Absolutely amazing. This book was amazing from start to finish. It really brings out how the world views “convicted felons” when they are really innocent. Love the work he is doing and can’t wait to see the movie.

Just Mercy. This book was so inspiring but heartbreaking. The brutal truth of the injustice in our justice system made me completely change my mind on the death penalty. Mostly though it taught me the real meaning of mercy. The importance of compassion and the reality that I too am broken, but I'm not ashamed of it anymore now. We are all somewhat broken, and those of us who can admit it can perhaps be there to be a stone catcher, and someone to lean on. Thank you for writing the best and most important book I have ever read. Thank you for your sacrifice, grace, compassion and mercy for the hundreds you have helped and the many more that you have given hope. You will be shocked to know that I am a conservative who has always believed in the death penalty. I am the Mother of a son who was in ICU for eight days after being brutally attacked, and no one was ever held accountable. And yet this book changed everything for me and my belief system. That's quite an accomplishment. Thank you for giving me the gift of peace and mercy. I wish I could meet you one day just to give you someone to lean on for a few moments and give me a chance to say thank you.

Powerful and engaging story telling. One of the most powerful books you can ever read. The story telling by Bryan Stevenson is truly flawless and will keep you engaged.

Amazing, yet heartbreaking!. As an Alabamian born and raised and what is considered to be a minority as well as not being “well off” financially, this story hits hard. I’m so thankful that Mr. Stevenson and his staff work as tirelessly as they do for anyone, regardless of race, income, or background. While I’ve never been on the “wrong side of the law”, Walter McMillan’s tragedy could befall any of us at any time. The way that was treated is an absolute nightmare!

Disingenuous. Popular title, worthless content.

Awesome Book.. I love the book from beginning to end. I’ve also made both my children read it. My 18 year old soon and my 13 year old daughter. Once they’ve read it, it gave them a clear understanding of how our legal system is ran SMDH. We Can’t wait to see the movie. Rashaa Johnson

Captivating. Just Mercy is one of the best books I've ever read. I was captivated by the stories of blatant injustice taking place in our judicial system. Some of these stories were so sad, I cried while I was reading them. Stevenson's narrative evoked many emotions within me-mainly the urge to help others that are wrongfully convicted with no one on their side. This book is a must read.

Excellent Read. This novel is thought provoking, profound and a tremendous wake up call to the harsh realities of the American criminal justice system.

Astonishing, Inspiring, Important. This book will shock you, disturb you, move you, engage you, and then, miraculously, succeed in leaving you inspired and hopeful that our humanity will prevail. They weren't kidding when they said Bryan Stevenson is a "Mandela", "doing God's work". This is certainly one of the best books I've read.

Very educational and thought provoking. Extremely well written sad stories that can be overwhelming to read, but they also bring up important questions to ponder

Just Mercy. This is one of the best books I've read! I was so touched by the compassion shared. I'm so in awe of the work that EJI does. Laughed and cried and couldn't put it down.

Waste. Propaganda.

Eye Opening. This book is a must read. I am a privileged white man that is now educated and aware of the racially imbalanced incarceration numbers and the amount of unfair and corrupt imprisonments. I am so thankful for this book and the insight it gave me to transform my eyes and thoughts on these issues.

Life Changing. This was by far one of the most powerful books I have ever read. Just as it serves to document the freedom of the innocent, it convicts each of us and the role we play in permitting grave injustice within any legal system.

Incredible. Worth every penny

Good reads. Great read, give it at shot.

Ok. Not a bad book. I didn’t like the writing style that much but that is the only flaw I found with it.

We are all Human. In Bryan Stevenson's "Just Mercy", we are reminded that we are all human. That any emotions we might have toward an individual or about a situation, there is another side of that story. He reminds us that every person is worthy of God's grace and mercy, especially those who are the most vulnerable in society. While some see Mr. Stevenson as an apologist for vicious criminals, it is clear that he is devoted to giving everyone their constitutional right to an attorney and a shoulder to lean on in their darkest hours. Many people cannot fathom working so many hours to help someone, only to have them be strapped down and killed in front of you. Mr. Stevenson is an angel from God for these condemned people. This book is a taste of that journey that so few of us would consider ever venturing on. Excellent book

Wow! What a Privilege to Read and Learn!. The movie is amazing and the book even more so. It gives me new knowledge and perspective on the justice system and incarceration. Thanks.

Haunting motivating and inspiring.. Just mercy is one of the best books I think I’ve ever read

Everyone should read this. Relevant, important and eye-opening.

Just Mercy. I loved this book. It was an easy read and told the true story of injustice for so many people especially in the south.

The Truth. Written in 2014, Just Mercy provides a timeless narrative that educates the common public, breaks down walls of bias, and promotes unity among its readers. As a result of recent current events regarding race and equality, there seems to be a growing division among Americans. Polarizing beliefs seem to taint the grandeur of America, causing us to spend more time groveling in our differences rather than discovering ways to overcome clear obstacles. As a Harvard alumni, and practicing lawyer, Brian Stevenson shows clear examples of inequality, racism, and corruption as he details the stories of men, women, and children sentenced to life in prison or worse, death row. Through the stories told, and the genius use of an educational tone, Stevenson captivates readers from all walks of life—black and white, conservative and liberal. As a result, he exposes the uninformed, biased way of thinking so prevalent in society, and enables his readers to see these complex issues through a new light. While it is normal, and in fact important, to develop thoughts and opinions surrounding these topics, Stevenson shows it is also important to consider the other side of the coin. In the end, Just Mercy invites us to reevaluate our stance on race and equality. He invites us to be more understanding, more willing to seek out facts and knowledge that will inform our opinions, and ultimately invites us to be more unified with our fellow man.

Very interesting. I really enjoyed the read - a fascinating insight into the criminal justice system and those it's not serving well. I had known a lot of the statistics and an overview about juvenile lifers, but seeing it all in one place interwoven with a personal narrative was an entirely new experience.

Difficult. This book was extremely difficult to read because what is written is true. I had to put this book down several times and walk away. The world we live in must be changed for the good and justice should not be something we have to pray for, it should be given freely to all men no matter the race or creed.

Why Hollywood. Stop trying to make the next forest gump gosh

A Life Changing Must Read. Just Mercy left me speechless. Bryan Stevenson's journey in and of itself is inspiring. The impact of his passion combined with his brilliance, combine to drive for major change. But what's even more inspiring is the relentless and forgiving spirit of those he represents who have been falsely accused and still found it in their souls to keep going under the most trying and heart wrenching circumstances. "The opposite of poverty is not wealth. The opposite of poverty is justice." Powerful.

Great book!!. This book make me laughed and cried. It was captivating and emotional

Just Mercy. Powerful, moving.

JUST MERCY. I was really inspired by this book; I support the attorneys who are engaged in finding justice for those who are unjustly incarcerated.

Captivating...and sad. I just made it through chapter 5 with tears streaming down my cheeks. I can tell you right now, this book will make you mad, sad, and all the emotions in between. It is written with such great detail, you start to feel like you went to law school! (I have not yet finished undergrad...so don’t feel like you need a formal education to understand.) I IMPLORE people of all races, nationality’s, backgrounds and beliefs to please read this book. It will bury its stories deep down in your soul, and leave you harvesting the fruit of its truth for years to come.

An absolute “must read”.. This story is a deep dive into the struggle of racial inequality. It brings a very human story and very real insight to the discussion of pervasive systemic racism in America. It keeps you fully engaged, at the age of your seat and leaves you somehow both enraged and hopeful. To anyone who has the gall and ignorance to proclaim “racism is dead” - I wish they would read this book.

Powerful Truth. I couldn't put this book down once I started reading it. It brings to light the extent of racial injustice in the United States, particularly in the South that humanizes those treated so unfairly in a country that professes equality, yet does not treat everyone as equals.

So amazing! A must read!. This book was hard to get through. I learned about some hard truths that have corrupted our justice system. I cried.. and I cheered! Thank you Stevenson for all that you have done and continue to do!
