Despite his book's title, crime journalist and author Galvin (Family Feud) doesn't fixate solely on the electric chair here; he covers the history of executions in America, including the many grisly methods, and describes notable cases--meaning those that were botched. Galvin further delves into the ethical, legal, and moral controversies related to capital punishment, including executions of the mentally challenged and disproportionate sentences among African Americans and the poor. VERDICT This accessible and slim book covers a lot of ground and will interest general audiences curious about the topic.--Erin Entrada Kelly, Philadelphia
