The man speaks from experience. His particular way of relating to the events around him is so readily accessible and vital I was finished the book and eagerly searching for more up to date information before I knew it.
If you're at all socially aware, or even consider yourself to be a kind and compassionate person, you owe it to yourself to read this book. I can't recommend it highly enough. I'm buying copies for my relatives for Christmas. It's that good.
Sometimes the most uplifting stories of all are also the saddest.
I could not put this book down once I started reading it. In one day it was finished. It also reminded me of a saying of my generation, "Question Authority."
Leonard has in these writings opened his soul and presented the reader with a look into his life as U.S.P. #89637-132. The reading saddened me, but at the same time it stirred emotions of anger.
The documented lies that led to his arrest and conviction have done nothing to speed his release. Mr. President, you have the power with the touch of your pen to right this terrible wrong.
In the Spirit of Leonard, ho!
