Summary: A compelling novel
Review: Scott Turow's compelling, multidimensional characters take the reader into Kindle County's parallel yet intersecting worlds of police and small-time crooks, airline executives and sophisticated scammers -- and lawyers of all stripes. No other writer offers such a convincing true-to-life picture of how the law and life interact, or such a profound understanding of what is at stake -- personally, professionally, and morally -- when the state holds the power to end a man's life. If anyony is intrested in a novel as compelling as this one I suggest Paul Omeziri's penetrating book Descent into Illusions.

Summary: Skimmable Book
Review: I had high expectations for this one. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. After the first half of the book I skimmed alot of pages. It wasn't that it was too wordy. It was just that I didn't care about most of the characters. The defendant on trial is pretty much just a name - we never really get to know him or care one way or the other if he lives or dies.The characters that I did like (Arthur and Gillian) were boring and predictable. Their storyline could and SHOULD really have gone a different way. Susan - why even bring her into the book? Another pity factor for poor, misunderstood Arthur? Murial & Larry - boring. Their relationship was an unnecessary addition to the novel. It did, however, make up the majority of my skimming. The only redeeming factor is the mystery behind who killed the 3 innocent people in the diner. Borrow this book from the library or some poor sap who bought it. It is unworth your hard-earned cash.

Summary: WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT
Review: THIS BOOK WAS A TOTAL WASTE OF READING TIME. THE MOST BORING BOOK THAT GRISHAM HAS EVER WRITTEN. THERE WAS NEVER A MOMENT WHERE I CARED WHAT HAPPENED.

Summary: Ugh!!
Review: Well, in my many long years of reading almost any book, I have seldom found one I just couldn't get interested in. This was slow, tedious and difficult to follow. I finally started jumping 50-75 pages at a time and couldn't even tell I had jumped!! Good luck.

Summary: A great read!
Review: Rommy Gandolph is on death row for a triple homicide committed in 1991, the only problem is he swears he didn't do it.

Muriel Wynn is the prosecuting attorney with personal gain from the outcome of the case, and when she teams Larry Starczeck, the original detective on the case, there's no stopping the length the two will go to see Rommy executed. Raven knows he has his hands full with this dog of a case, but to further complicate matters is the involvement of Gillian Sullivan, the original judge on the case, recently out of jail herself for taking bribes.

Summary: this book was disappointing
Review: Scott is trying to be John Grisham. It reads like one of Grishams slow courtroom dramas. Only slower. It seems that everyone must have an affair. Thats what authors do when they don't have substance. This was like a grocery store paperback. Sorry.

Summary: Turow applies his many talents to write a compelling story
Review: In the past several years the American justice system has fallen under heavy scrutiny, more often than not, in an unfavorable light. Detractors point to tainted investigations, overburdened courts, and the vagaries of the jury system. Supporters reiterate the sentiment that, with its constitutional guarantees, it's still the best possible form of justice relative to the rest of the world. The fulcrum for both arguments should be obvious --- human beings --- and human beings are, of course, fallible. In REVERSIBLE ERRORS Scott Turow has applied his considerable talents to writing a compelling story spun from an astute reflection of those fallible humans that underlie the fragile structure of the judicial process. In 1991, three people are brutally murdered in a late night diner. Ten years and countless appeals later, convicted murderer Rommy Gandolph is spending his final weeks on death row unless his court-appointed attorney can pull one last, convincing appeal out of some magical briefcase. Attorney Arthur Raven views his assignment to the case as just another unhappy stroke of fate to add to the dismal résumé of his life. But when he uncovers discrepancies in the case that lead him to believe his client might actually be innocent, Raven becomes inspired to ferret out the truth of what actually took place in that diner so long ago. The suspenseful storyline ebbs and flows between the past and present, ushering in Turow's other key players --- an experienced detective, an aspiring prosecutor, and a corrupted judge --- and what has propelled them all to this final juncture. Detective Larry Starczek and Prosecutor Muriel Wynn are star-crossed lovers who allowed their professional ambitions and private desires to cloud the original homicide investigation. Now the moral dilemma of their shared responsibility in a mangled prosecution threatens to destroy both their professional and personal lives. Gillian Sullivan, the presiding judge on the original case, is drawn back into the limelight after spending several years in prison for taking bribes. Her reluctance to become involved with the case, and defense attorney Raven, are overridden by her guilt that somehow she may have played a role in convicting an innocent man. Despite her fatalistic sense that her involvement with Raven will eventually end badly for the both of them, even she isn't prepared for the cataclysmic events that are about to unfold in The State Vs Rommy Gandolph. REVERSIBLE ERRORS is a dual revelation in both juris prudence and the human psyche that reflects our own personal struggles to understand the moral issues that refract our lives. The frightening possibilities are all too apparent, and timely, as revelations of law enforcement misconduct and prosecutorial fiascoes continue to fuel our rage and re-ignite the age-old controversy over capital punishment. Yet Turow never succumbs to the temptation of fellow authors by simply fictionalizing the sensational for his own intent. On the contrary, he has crafted a magnificent exposé that takes us deep into the souls of each character to examine every watershed moment and the consequences they've wrought. And as he finally brings each character to the edge of their own moral abyss, we're haunted by one of life's essential truths. When one human being crosses paths with another, both lives are dramatically altered --- for better or worse --- forever. --- Reviewed by Ann Bruns ([email address])
