A bit disappointing, as a WM3 supporter
By Leila O'Connor
I have followed the WM3 case over the last few years, having read Damien's previous book Almost Home, and seen the three Paradise Lost documentaries, as well as the Peter Jackson & Amy Berg documentary West of Memphis. I enjoy Damien's writing, despite the odd nasty comment, as other reviewers have mentioned -- some of the things he says serve to remind you that he's just a regular everyday guy with a few petty prejudices, not the wise leader he's sometimes made out to be.If you are buying this book, you need to know that about 80% of it is an exact reprinting of Almost Home. Another 10% appears to be reprinting of Damien's blog posts campaigning for help with their case over the last few years. The final 10% is new material, from what I can tell.With a name like "Life After Death", I expected the book to primarily focus on Damien's experience after coming out of prison, but that part amounts to barely a chapter. There is, for example, a picture of he and his wife in New Zealand with Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, but no information about that trip. This smacks of false advertising.I don't criticise Damien here, so much as the publisher. Repackaging previous work in a new book without making this clear to those purchasing is a rip-off.You might enjoy this if you haven't already read Almost Home.

It makes one look at the world differently.
By Elle Catherine
I know it's almost three years late with this review. I don't want to miss anything out as there are many points that need addressing.Especially considering the death penalty is still being used in the States.Before I continue, consider you might run into what seems to be SPOILERS which won't be my intention, but I'm just warning in case. Also, I don't dislike Americans. Every country has their faults. It just feels as though some states are a step away from burning suspected witches at the stake.That's literally what almost happened to the author here. Had he not taken the Alford plea (hopefully spelt right now), there seems little doubt he'd be alive now.The book explains not only life on death row, but the back history of someone who'd been persecuted for years before being arrested.Reading about death row is horrific, but in a way it's even worse to know the betrayal that lead to an innocent man being accused of murder, along with his friends. There's undoubtedly so much hatred and venom coming from those claiming be righteous. Many underestimate the destruction these individuals cause to innocent lives. From what I've read and my own experiences when it comes to packs of braindead followers; the majority, particularly that Jerry Driver, had decided Damien was going down after first laying eyes on him. This isn't uncommon behaviour but it is disgusting that such persecution exists. It is also unprofessional and doesn't make sense. I've met some nut jobs but Damien was locked up by those in need of some psychiatric assistance themselves.As I was reading this, I could feel the hostility of those in the town and the obvious witch hunt taking place. And this was being done to a minor two years beforehand. This person was quickly made a scapegoat, blamed for a crime committed by someone else. I don't really want to go into details about who could have done it. It's a sickening miscarriage of justice. I never finished other books relating to death row because the torture is another kind of inhumane, still accepted by those that only really want to see someone die. I recognise the mentality. We've all heard others talk about what "should" happen to murderers and never is it acknowledged the possibility the accused could be innocent. I've personally always been against the death penalty, even when I've been sickened by crimes committed against innocents. Those in power have to be rational.Taking someone's life for killing, innocent or guilty, isn't rational! The very fact that person could be innocent and yet could still be executed, is sick beyond belief.Being from the UK, I remember reading and watching documentaries about condemned such as Derek Bentley and Ruth Ellis. DECADES AGO, before the death sentence was abolished over here. For those that don't know, Derek Bentley had a low mental age and didn't even pull the trigger. I add this because it also reminded me of some of the inmates mentioned in 'Life After Death'.Damien also describes others on death row. When he talks about them, you start to see how they've been completely stripped of their spirit along with everything else. By then, all that's being killed is a shell.Who punishes those in power?The question usually asked to every anti-death penalty believer is "What if you lost someone to murder?" Well answer this: What if someone you cared about ended up condemned for something they didn't do?I've noticed quite a few people judging the WM3 for taking the Alford plea. Jason Baldwin would have stayed inside from what I've read, but he couldn't watch his friend die. Anyone with any sense would have done the exact same thing without question. Now some people insist "Oh no, no, I would have kept fighting!"That is very easy to say when not in that position. It's a good job they took that plea.Now an important issue I feel was overlooked. Some people might not think it was serious but I do because it involves medication. From what I'm aware, Damien has been judged quite severely for how he reacted during the trial. Whenever it's been brought up, I think he described his actions as foolish. What needs to be acknowledged is that he was on Anti-Depressants at the time. I don't know what he'd been prescribed but from experience of taking them myself and loved ones also, I know you cannot take anyone seriously when they're under the influence of that particular medication. Although everyone is affected differently, I can say one can go as far as giggling like an idiot even after suffering a loss. Even though those drugs are needed, they are often prescribed for the sake of it. And then it would have been hell alone being forced to stop abruptly. Obviously he was forced to go without them. Aside from the withdrawal symptoms, all the memories return and are much more intense. This is an important subject because Damien has been ridiculed for his every movement, not only by some so-called body language "experts" but at the trial and just afterwards, every little comment he made was taken literally. I personally didn't see what the fuss was about or what everyone expected, but it is important to know that it wasn't a simple case of a teenager being a bit obnoxious. Apart from anything else, you must also remember that if a person knows they're innocent, in their minds, they're probably expecting someone else to come and save the day. Topped with having their mood heightened by what actually is a mind-altering drug, they may come across as being outrageous. I cringe when I remember what I was like on those tablets. I reiterate this because people bring up how Damien was behaving at the time.There seems to be little awareness over such matters which I consider barbaric in itself.I recommend this book to anyone. Anyone. It gives an insight into a world we're ignoring. We cannot pretend there are not innocent people waiting to die. That doesn't mean we have to ignore the victims, it means all the more reason to find answers.I will probably add more later. I enjoyed reading this. Some of the comments were hilarious.

for only having a 9th grade education this book deserves 5 stars
By Ms. Salma Ali
beautifully written. really shows how insightful he is about everything that's happened to him. no bitterness for the people that made him feel like he was an ''other''. im glad its not another prisoner novel because that would distract the reader for the insightful intelligent person that he is. full of imagery definitely one for a literature fan to be honest. there were parts that reminded me of toni morrisons beloved especially the part were he talks about the barn like house that he moves too. very good use of language to convey such beautiful but eerie imagery
