5.0 out of 5 stars A must read!, 10 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: A Lesson Before Dying (Turtleback)
I borrowed this book from a friend and couldn't put it down. The characters are interesting and full of life. In reading this book, one gets a sense of the people and the time. I'm looking forward to reading his other books.
