I don’t rate nonfiction, but if I rated it based on how much I cried and highlighted throughout this book, it would be a 10 star book.
This should be mandatory reading, in my opinion.

Excellent work. A very heart wrenching account that makes you realize that racial injustice was still a normal and upfront part of society into the present day, it didn't end with the demise of Jim Crow.
This has been on my to read list since it came out, but I'm glad I read it now. Stevenson knows to balance tragedy and failure with urgency and hope. Everyone who votes and pays taxes should take responsibility to understand what happens in their name.
No words really. Our judicial system is beyond repair, but then people like Bryan come around and despite obstacle after obstacle him and his devoted team try to fix all the wrongs. This book was sad, frustrating, filled me with hot anger, and yet hopeful all at the same time. If you're a human, you owe it to yourself to read this. I obviously waited too long.

Beautifully written in a way that’s rare for nonfiction. A quick, reflective, and important read
I was amazed by all the stories in the book. I am amazed and in awe of the work of Mr Stevenson. After reading "The New Jim Crow" I didn't think I could be equally surprised and outraged again by how the American justice system is failing so many people... I am deeply troubled after finishing the book. A definite must-read for all.
This book tells the stories of several of the author's clients who dealt with the horribly unjust legal system in this country. Stevenson is not only an excellent attorney, he is an amazing writer.
This is a moving book that was at times a difficult read, but also a necessary one. Stevenson is a masterful story teller while weaving in shocking realities and hard data about the criminal justice system. Just Mercy is a must read.
