The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row by Anthony Ray HintonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I purchased this book using Amazon eBook credits for Great on Kindle.
A great message, but repetitively delivered. I felt like a nail getting repeatedly whacked on the head. It seemed like Hinton was saying the same thing in different ways in rapid succession. Hinton really hammers things home. I felt like a school child copying a sentence over and over to learn...you get the idea.
That aside, this is an amazing story. Every step of the way, something incredible happens, most of it negative, but sometimes positive. Hinton's positivity is unbelievable and probably a major contributing factor to his ability to survive his thirty years. I really can't imagine going through what he did.
My favorite part was probably his relationship with Henry Hays. I hope stories like that are happening off of death row.
