This is one of the best autobiographies I have read. It is simple in its execution, but the raw, evocative imagery that was so vivid whilst reading, felt like I had a window into his life, thoughts, demons and aspirations.

The hardship endured in his childhood still couldn't compare to the love he held for his formidable mother and younger siblings. Battling with being institutionalised, although peppered with good experiences here and there, the overall onslaught of abuse, neglect and his family's lifestyle made me think his path was inevitable. It was never if, but when.

The only irksome point I have is that he wasn't and isn't an innocent man. He may be innocent of murder but he is guilty of many crimes and terrorised many people. I understand that sensationalism sells. But calling this an autobiography of an innocent man on death row is plain wrong. I get it. But I don't like that misinterpretation. This is an autobiography of a criminal innocent of murder... But I guess it doesn't have the same ring to it.

Irrespective of that, his story is memorable and will haunt me for some time. It is the epitome of choices and the path they can put you on.

A riveting tale of adversity and the choices made

A beautifully written, often heartbreaking occasionally heart warming, always fascinating story. I feel this book should be compulsory reading, particularly for anyone in politics/justice/mental Heath/education/police/prison services. I leave it burning with the injustices, but with a renewed hope and vigour to do what ever I can to help others and with a budding new interest in Buddhism.

Wow. I haven’t been able to put this down

Desperately sad….beautifully written. There is a small amount of hope attached to this story but the harsh reality of what will probably happen is just devastating.

Beautifully heartbreaking

Great audiobook! I couldn’t put it away. I am deeply touched by the way he explained the relationship he had with his mother.

Great audiobook and well explained
