Product Description

Rommy "Squirrel" Gandolph is a Yellow Man, an inmate on death row for a 1991 triple murder in Kindle County. His slow progress toward certain execution is nearing completion when Arthur Raven, a corporate lawyer who is Rommy's reluctant court-appointed representative, receives word that another inmate may have new evidence that will exonerate Gandolph.

Arthur's opponent in the case is Muriel Wynn, Kindle County's formidable chief deputy prosecuting attorney, who is considering a run for her boss' job. Muriel and Larry Starczek, the original detective on the case, don't want to see Rommy escape a fate they long ago determined he deserved. Further complicating the situation is the fact that Gillian Sullivan, the judge who originally found Rommy guilty, is only recently out of prison herself, having served time for taking bribes.

Scott Turow's compelling, multidimensional characters take the listener 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 profound understanding of what is at stake when the state holds the power to end a man's life.

Only so-so 10 Oct 2003
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I found Turow's first novel, Presumed Innocent, one of the most gripping crime novels of the last twenty years. Since then, there has been a steady decline, but I started Reversible Errors hoping that there might have been a return to his original form. Unfortunately, my hopes were disappointed. This story of the final legal battles to prevent the execution of a mentally subnormal petty criminal for a triple murder contains plenty of shocks and surprises, and Turow's coarse one-liners are as amusing as ever. But his four central characters fail to engage the reader, their philosophising about the human condition is banal and tedious and, at 550 pages, the book often feels interminable. Good story that would have been better at 300 pages.

Rescued by Reviews 28 May 2010
By G. M. Sinstadt VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
I try to avoid consulting reviews before I read a book, preferring to come to it with an uninfluenced mind. In the case of Reversible Errors I struggled to page 150 before abandoning my principles, whereupon I discovered a number of other readers who had suffered similarly.

Scott Turow made his reputation, and first seduced me, as a skilled purveyor of courtroom dramas. Sadly, it now looks as though success has gone to his head, tempting him to essay The Great American Novel. Reversible Errors begins with a suggestion that a murder conviction may not have been valid. Presumably, the novel ends in the court room, but far from being the substance of the story the pursuit of innocence becomes merely an excuse to investigate the problems and neuroses (and there are many) of the conflicting characters (and there are many). From chapter to chapter, the focus changes so that the reader, confronted say with 'Muriel', has to turn back several chapters to reconnect with that strand. The technique stalls the narrative flow. So, too, does the psychological interpretation of words spoken or thought within the chapters.

Reversible Errors is certainly a page turner, but the turning is back. Turow's reputation suffers in parallel.

Very Average 5 Jan 2004
Format:Paperback
I last read a Turow book some years ago and returned to him as an author with this effort.

What has happened in the last few years ?

I found this book like treading through treacle. It was slow and worse still boring. No twists ,turns excitement at all, instead it seemed to concentrate on rather elongated love stories.

Sad to say I will not be looking out for the next effort from this author
