Wonderful

Loved it so much! I can't wait to read the next book. Very interesting and intriguing.

So good, you won't want to stop listening

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I really enjoyed this book. Damien is such an articulate person and has a great voice.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Life After Death?

His relationship with his mother.

What about Damien Echols’s performance did you like?

Very articulate, soothing voice.

Heartbreaking, but well done

I was very absorbed by the WM3 case from the day I heard about all of the injustices these 3 children who became men behind bars endured. Damien, Jason and Jesse had to endure hardships the likes most will never know (I hope). Thank goodness things worked out somewhat in the end. However 3 young men remain dead and the true killer/killers roam free. I hope you will familiarize yourself with the case just to see how ignorant, evil and careless your elected officials can be at times. Damien did a wonderful job with this book. Pouring his feelings and soul onto the page couldn’t have been easy from behind those hideous bars. Especially being innocent. I hope the truth will one day come to light and that the person/people who committed these crimes will truly pay.

Awesome overall read!

Very interesting the whole way through. author did a great job reading! A must read!

Amazing!

Damien really relays his trials and tribulations. poetic and vulgar. heart breaking and reaffirming. love love love this book!

Very good!

Narrator was awesome. Kept me engaged the whole time! It made me wanting more and more

Emotional Beyond Words

To go through what Damien went through and to come out on the other side is more than what the human mind can comprehend. Everyone should have to read this book!

Captivating story. I was hanging on his every word.

So sad, yet inspiring, how Damien could find love, energy, insight and personal growth through all the torture and blame for a crime he didn't commit. He's a very strong and admirable soul. I wish for all the happiness and good fortune to him, Jason and Jessie. Namaste.

MAGICALLY AMAZING -

NEVER in my life have I or will I write a more sincere review than I am about to do now!

I remember this event/trial playing as it occurred. I was the same age as Damien and from a small little farm town full of "judge the different"! I remember thinking as it unfolded those boys were NOT GUILTY. Even at my young and naive age - even I knew. I watched the updated stories over the years and never lost sight of my original thoughts.

I have had this book in my wish list forever, but never could bring myself to listen - until now! Let's just say - I could not put it down, BUT had to at times to take breaks because NEVER has my soul felt such anger for the gross injustice done to a stranger! The fact that Damien Echols still sees the good and beauty in things is mind boggling. He is on this earth to CHANGE the earth! His story needed to be told and it needed to be told BY HIM! After getting through the story the last 30 minutes literally gave me chills that wouldn't go away and I cried when Damien and Jason FIANLLY got back in the police car to GO HOME!

To every single participant in the journey of disgust and wrongness of Damien, Jason, and Jessie - perhaps we should quote TV judges and just say "May God have mercy on your souls!". Though truly, you each deserve NONE!

May every single December (my birthday too - so I get it!), Halloween, bird, tree, song, angel, God, barking dog, blowing wind, word, bite of food, glance from a stranger that doesn't know you, and any and everything from this day forward bring you NOTHING but SMILES and internal JOY for the rest of your LIFE!

Lastly - I thought Matthew McConaughey had the only voice that could read me a "Z" encyclopedia and I would hang onto every word, but I was wrong - - Damien Echols has that voice too, but sprinkled with a lot of calm and soul with it! In that you have the BEST narrator ingredients!

In the end, this book will stay with me FOREVER! Damien's words will ring in my ears from time to time until I die! What an AMAZING MAGICAL SOUL that I am grateful to have been able to see a TRUE STORY GLIMPSE INTO!

Strength is Damien Echols

I finished this too fast! What a wild ride with the author. I strive to have his ability to bounce back. And to possess the strength and wisdom he has.
