Anmeldelser
«Lerner's white-collar Everyman perspective may force readers to truly see the cruel inequities of our current system . . . hard to put down, even harder to forget.»
Kirkus Reviews
«A magnetic memoir and a compelling addition to the contemporary reporting of life in the American penal system and one man's place in it.»
Waterstones Books Quarterly
«A considerable achievement . . . Forthrightly pulls back the curtain on a brutal system of punitive penal warehousing.»
The Washington Post
«A grim and vivid account of life inside the unnamed dehumanising Nevada jail which was Lerner's home between 1998 and 2002, and the events leading up to his imprisonment there . . . A Hardyesque tale of spiralling inevitability towards disaster . . . The mix of characters is extraordinarily rich.»
Observer
«He tells his tale, leading up to why he committed murder in the first place, with extraordinary humour, a raw tension and an ear for dialogue straight from God.»
