Críticas:

"[Burnett] is a graceful, economical writer, with a sharp eye for detail and a nuanced feel for character. . . . Irresistible." --The New York Times Book Review

"Immensely readable." --The Washington Post

"Burnett manages to paint vivid portraits of his fellow-jurors and examine the knottier issues of class, race, and gender that complicate the justice system's search for objective truth." --The New Yorker

"A pleasure to read . . . Illuminating and, ultimately, uplifting." --The Nation

"Never have we been privy to actual jury room deliberations in all of their stark human complexity and perversity -- and certainly never under the guidance of a sensibility, intelligence, and narrative skill like Mr. Burnett's." --New York Law Journal
