Book Reviews of Texas Death Row: Executions in the Modern Era
Book Review: One of the most annoying books I've ever read
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book in Australia, and the edition released there had numerous errors in it which rendered it a pain to read. The cover read Edited by Bill Crawford - are you sure? There is a section in the front of the book with various statistics, such as the longest time on death row, too bad they were wrong. There were inmates on death row for longer than the two listed. That's if the details for each prisoner are to be believed. One entry had the race listed as white when the photo of the inmate showed he quite obviously wasn't. Another thing that irked was that some of the final statements which were too long to be the inmates page, refered you to the appendix, too bad they weren't in the appendix. Then you have the repetative nature of the statements themselves - although I don't suppose Mr Crawford can help this. It's a purchase which I really regret, skip it altogether.
