Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson

5.0

Everyone should read this incredibly enlightening book. Bryan Stevenson recalls some overwhelmingly moving stories. This book is heart-wrenching but filled with compassion and hope. I highly recommend Bryan Stevenson's own audio book reading.

This book was eye-opening and I'm not sure yet how it's going to change the way I live my life.

I'm not big on super hero movies and apparently I'm not big on super hero books either.

Great narration and casting of narrators. Some of the stories were interesting but most of the book felt over the top. Lots of gore, violence, abusive relationships that felt over the top frequently.

There was a lot of useful advice in here that I either hadn't considered, didn't have a name for, or knew about but could definitely use reminding.

I wish I had taken more notes and done more of the exercises in the book. It would be nice to internalize some of these ideas a bit more.

I really enjoyed this one. I found myself reflecting on this in between reading (listening) sessions.

Mortality is unsettling. This book was an opportunity to rehearse the end of a life. It was emotional, moving, and sometimes profound.
