Edited by a copywriter I work with, this set of short, fictional stories reads almost like one continuous story. Written by a prisoner serving a life sentence, the stories clearly reflect his personal experiences of prison life. Easy reading, mostly interesting. It doesn’t paint a rosy picture of prison, as expected, nor particularly of the author. I was pulling for him to be the “good guy that made one bad mistake” and to an extent he was, but his character also wasn’t that of an alter boy. That added a touch of friction to the overall positive experience of reading this one.
