4.0

The main plot of this book is of the utmost importance. I want to first make that clear! The issues this book raises is relevant to this day and an ongoing terrible problem in the prison system. I had trouble giving this book a star rating because while I didn’t love it, I know that this is a must read for EVERYONE. The legal talk within the book is what caused me to often times be confused by it since I’m not knowledgable in legal lingo. At all! But as I read, I could still appreciate the conveying message. If you want more inclusiveness in your reading, then pick up this book.
