Getting Away with Murder by Chris Crowe

Synopsis: A non-fiction book about the case of the Emmett Till murder trial. The book goes into extreme detail of the trial and the details surrounding the case including a little bit of Emmett's life before his murder.

Review: I liked it but I got bored about 2/3 in. I thought the trial was put into excruciating detail and could have been summed up a little better. I suppose the book's purpose isn't about "summing it up" though. I thought it was well done. Though you could tell what the author's feelings were regarding the case you could still see the true story. The facts were very well put and organized well. I liked the flow of the book and the transition from topic to topic. It was very well done.
