"Sher makes a painstakingly detailed case that Truscott didn't receive a fair trial...Comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable makes for the most honourable journalism. Sher has done fine work." — Christie Blatchford, The National Post

"Passionate, thorough and highly readable, it is also a weighty indictment of our criminal system, and the terrible results when it goes wrong." — Kitchener Waterloo Record, Nov 24, 2001

"Written with admirable clarity. Sher's book (reveals) that Truscott received a raw deal in 1959 - that, under current law .Truscott would almost certainly have been acquitted." — The Toronto Star

"A chilling search for truth . Sher's swiftly paced book follows Truscott from his arrest and trial through his darkest hours as Canada's youngest death-row prisoner." — Hamilton Spectator

"The conviction of Steven Truscott has been controversial almost since his murder trial in 1959 . and a new book released last week has raised more questions . With the doubts that exist, the justice minister should use the power granted under Section 690 of the Criminal Code to have a complete review of the Truscott file. Truscott deserves that review; so does the judicial system." — Oct. 15 editorial, Kitchener-Waterloo Record

"Never mind the police saying Truscott did it, never mind the justice system convicting him, never mind the Supreme Court of Canada voting eight-to-one the conviction was sound, Sher's work, a hell of a book, triumphs in still raising all kinds of disturbing doubts, and I recommend you read it."
— The Calgary Sun

"Journalist Julian Sher has uncovered new evidence showing Steven Truscott was wrongly convicted . a compelling story detailing how Truscott's 1959 murder trial was horribly flawed, his conviction gravely tainted and his Supreme Court of Canada appeal compromised .The most infamous miscarriage of justice in the country's history remains uncorrected." - The Vancouver Sun

“Read this book. You will be jarred by the reality of our justice system. This excellent, in-depth compilation of Steven Truscott’s very disturbing case keeps you absorbed and in disbelief: Where is the justice?” — Guy Paul Morin

"Sher writes with a finely measured sense of disbelief. How could this happen? he asks through every page. And we share his amazement, notwithstanding David Milgaard, Donald Marshall, Guy Paul Morin and Thomas Sophonow, all convicted until proven innocent ... Sher has written an important book. One that ought to serve as a warning to those who administer justice against arrogance. Nor should anyone be complacent on the issue, for every time a case is closed with the wrongly accused, a killer is left free to roam among us." — The Montreal Gazette, October 20, 2001

"Until You Are Dead" brings up to date an important chapter in Canadian history, one whose lessons must never be forgotten." - Alex Good, GoodReports.com
