Texas Death Row is the first book to present the basic facts concerning each of the individuals executed i.There are also extended statements in the appendix (extremely l). The reason why I find this book compelling: The book is a factual listing of men who have paid a price with their lives. These men were convicted of crimes that warranted the death penalt, Without actually knowing what each specific conviction was based on, ALL we know is that each man listed within this book was found guilty and executed, whether they were rightfully convicted or not. This is why the book is so real.

Reviews about Texas Death Row Executions in the Modern Era (4):
Ubrise
An excellent resource as to why the death penalty should be carried out. After you read about the crimes for which the prisoners were executed for it is very hard to have much sympathy for them. Too often in the argument against the death penalty the victims and their families tend to be forgotten. The people who were executed in Texas got off far easier than the people they killed. At least they weren't tortured, beaten, stabbed, shot or raped before they were executed.
Haralem
Regardless of how anyone feels about the death penalty, it is compelling to read and can also be disturbing.
These are the facts about the book:
This book catalogs(?) 222 death row inmates. The convicts are listed in cronological order as per their execution dates. The book features profiles of each convict, listing their date of birth, race, physical characteristics, education, prior occupation, and age at which they were executed. Other information that is included: The crime(s) that they were convicted of, their length of time on death row, last meal, and last statement. There are also extended statements in the appendix (extremely compelling/insightful).
The reason why I find this book compelling: The book is a factual listing of men who have paid a price with their lives. These men were convicted of crimes that warranted the death penalt, Without actually knowing what each specific conviction was based on, ALL we know is that each man listed within this book was found guilty and executed, whether they were rightfully convicted or not. This is why the book is so real. There are human faces put to death here... Regardless of what side of the argument you stand on, FOR or AGAINST the death penalty, there are reasons here to justify both sides. As a law student/amatuer criminologist I would recommend this book to everyone who has an interest in criminal law (prosecutor or defense attorney). This book is of a serious nature and it should not be dismissed.

I bought this book because, like many others, I have an interest in the death penalty in the USA. This book is written in a very sensationalist form, which I didn't mind. Knowing what crimes the men and women committed, their last meal etc. is all interesting stuff. However, it was obvious to me that the author of this book gathered the information in it from various internet sites, specifically the official texas death row site.

I found this to be rather unethical, any joe could have written this book and made money off it. Very little research went into the book.

I wouldn't buy this book again, it offered no new information to me that I had not already read about on the net. If you are looking for a sensationalist book with some gory details and aspects of last meals etc. buy this book. If you are looking for in depth information on Texas Death Row do not buy this book. If you want to save money, then visit the Texas Death Row site, which is readily accessible via google.

This book in no way is able to educate about the Death Penalty. In my opinion it only tries to satisfy the voyeurism of people who want nourish their feelings of revenge and hatred. Very poor.
