"The Innocent Man" is non-fiction novel by John Grisham, which tells the story of Ronald Williamson. The main points of the novel, is how he was falsely accused of murder in Ada, Pontotoc County, Oklahoma, and also the chronicling of his mental breakdown. All beginning from his failure at becoming a major league baseball player. Grisham in this novel, has produced a wonderful piece of work. It's frightening and riveting, in its delivery. It scares with a true narrative of the false conviction of men, who had to endure thru prison time, with out having committed a crime. Yet, even greater than that fear inspiring portion, is the unfolding that it holds, of a man who at first was full of potential, and then falls into the deepest form of mental instability. Grisham excels here, compared to his latest works.. because he gives us a character that resonates with a sad dark despondency, of a man going through life's hardships, without having the benefit of holding proper psychological faculties. Not only is the story solid in content, but it strikes your heart, and delivers in a great form the tragedy of this man.
