A fascinating read that had me hooked from page one!
18. März 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
I buy books as souvenirs. On our holiday in Barcelona earlier this year, my daughter stumbled over this book in a bookstore. She is against the death penalty and found the summary on the cover interesting so she asked if we could buy this book as our souvenir. As it turned out, I finished the book I was reading and needed something to read so I asked if I could read her "souvenir".
I was completely hooked from the first page. I read it in two long sittings at a Starbuck's in Barcelona.
Our protagonist is David Gale, a well-known professor at the University of Texas. A passionate anti death-penalty activist whose world is turned upside down when he is charged with raping and murdering a fellow professor and anti death-penalty activist.
We enter the story as he sits on death row, having been convicted of rape and murder. With only one week away from the execution date, he agrees to give the journalist Bitsey Bloom an exclusive interview. Before meeting with David Gale, Bitsey is convinced that he is guilty as charged. However, during the interview David present Bitsey with new information. As she look into what he has given her, Bitsey start to believe they arrested the wrong man.
The big question in this plot is - will she be able to clear his name before execution? The chosen subject matter was a stunning idea, and one of the best plots I've read in a long time. I was caught off guard when I came to the ending. I did not see that coming at all. Fascinating!
Great read!

A Worthwhile Read
22. Februar 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a wonderfully written thriller that explores the political fracas over the death penalty. Each character entraps interest in the midst of chaos, all while coaxing the reader to a shocking conclusion that remains elusive until the very end. I found this novel to be effectually stimulating, noteworthy, and highly recommendable.

Life of David Gale
2. Januar 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
I finally saw this brilliant movie last night. First of all, the cast was well picked and the acting was superb. The plot itself was one of the best plots I have ever seen; not only is it realistic, but realistically portrayed. The chosen subject matter was a stunning idea, seeing controvery surrounding this issue touches each and every one of us. Nothing was far fetched in any of the portrayals. As we have seen many times in our country's history, people will go beyond the normal limits to stand up for a cause they believe in, as did David Gale, the cowboy and the character portrayed by Laura Linley.
I've read some of the negative critc reviews and cannot, for the life of me, understand what these people think is entertaining and of public interest. Seems to me, these negative critics must be living in a shell....perhaps they even voted for Bush.
