5.0 out of 5 stars Grisham at his best, April 7 2011
This is a book about which John Grisham clearly felt deeply - perhaps because he has recently become concerned about wrongful convictions, and the treatment of that theme here has a very passionate edge. Although Grisham has dealt with the countdown to an execution before in The Chamber, a similar plot device here has produced even more focused results. Grisham has translated his thoughts about what the real killer might be thinking and doing into an unsettling narrative, as the last hours of life ebb away for an innocent mann. The real killer's identity is given away at the beginning of The Confession.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great show, April 7 2011
Great show. Stephen Boscho has toned down the shaky camera starting in this season. Can't wait for Fox to realease more seasons as they left us on a great cliffhanger at the end of season 4.

I must have gotten a defective disk as the ones I purchased were not even wrapped in plastic. Some episodes wouldn't play or if you accessed certain episodes the DVD player would freeze up(new player purchased in Dec '10). They were probably a return. Check the contents of the shipment and if there is no plastic around it be sure to return it. Other than that the shows were great and the season 4 stops on a very high note. I hope Fox comes out with season 5 soon. Keep your fingers crossed.
