Book Reviews of Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account Of The Death Penalty In The United States

Book Review: Mind blowing
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is absolutely amazing. I was a bit worried at first that it would be all about loving people because we are all gods children etc. But Helen Prejean's strength, compassion and belief that all humans deserve love no matter what (just from a human point not a god thing) is so overwhelming I could not put the book down. She finds so many faults in herself while dealing with the so called "dregs of soceity" that it really made me stop and think about myself and my own judgements about people and how quick I am at making them. It also made my belief that the death penalty is wrong even stronger.
