He's an elegant writer with spare prose that's reflective of his approach to life. Not only is Damien's tale of life behind bars riveting, but it's well written. It's gotten high praise and reviews and for good reason. It would be difficult to approach this book without feeling compassion for what Echols has been through, but if I thought that the reaction to this book was predicated on how people felt about the case, I was wrong. I immediately grabbed the Audible edition, which has Damien reading his own words. ![]() What a treat to learn that Damien Echols had just published his memoir.
