A review by readtome_sheri
The Guardians by John Grisham

2.0

I am already a capital punishment abolitionist and an advocate for reforming the criminal justice system so I was looking forward to a story that would illustrate the need for both. So I was very disappointed to get this preachy tell-rather-than-show spiel instead. And, despite the implicit message in The Guardians, one does not need a god belief or any kind of religious conversion to have compassion for (and work to exonerate) those who have been f*cked by the prison-industrial complex.
