Blind Justice is a fantastic book by James Bridgwater. It comprises five parts that tell the story of the journey of the transvestite hero, Blind Justice. The story starts with the author introducing us to Mark Wilson, a sweet, straightforward guy with a multiple personality disorder. His alter ego deals out justice to legalized criminals. Now the question is, what is the Blind Justice's goal? What is his story? And does he actually have a disorder? If so, what caused it? 

The author of this book uses the main character, Mark Wilson, to depict the failed legal system of the United Kingdom. He shows how it is easy to condemn petty thieves. It also shows how easy it is to legalize criminals because of their wealth. Robbers, murderers, and most especially paedophiles are allowed to roam around in society unchecked because of their status. It showed that the justice system failed to do its work, leaving victims scarred for life. Now the issue is, is there justice in their society? If so, can one say that what Blind Justice is doing is really justice or plain psychosis?

I found a lot of positive aspects in this book. I love how the author told his story and was able to capture what goes through the minds of both personalities in people with multiple personality disorder. The book made me understand the concept of multiple personality disorder and its effects on a person. The author equally helped me identify what could cause it. I also enjoyed following Detective Inspector Tracy and Detective Sergeant Anderson on their investigative process of catching the Blind Justice; it was really a rollercoaster of emotions there. Also, I felt that the author represented each character well, most especially Mark's and BJ's characters. 

This book has its fair share of negative aspects. However, aside from the shortness of the story, I don't think there was any other negative aspect I could find. I felt the story could have continued. However, the author seemed to be so skilled to tell his entire traveling career in just few pages. I admired that despite being brief, the story felt like an entire-length novel when I was done. I wish the story had other parts. Also, I found that in this book, the author's use of archaic words was numerous. I was not too fond of it. It made it hard to comprehend some scenes or parts of this book. I do not entirely consider this a negative aspect since it may not really be of concern to others. However, you would come across words like eventide, transvestite, despondent, and so on.

I found a lot of errors in this book, and since they were so much, I would say it was not professionally edited. With this, I would rate the book 3 out of 4 because the book had a fantastic storyline, and I enjoyed the smooth flow of the story. However, I really did not like the use of many archaic words, and it affected my general satisfaction with the book. 

I recommend this book to lovers of thrilling books. People who love heroic stories would also have a fantastic time reading this book. People who enjoy reading horror books would love this too.

I'm interested in finding out the cause of his disorder. Great review.

I always wondered why wealth had anything to do with innocence. It’s good to know this phenomenon isn’t exclusive to the US. As a side note, there was a James Bridegewater in my high school. That has nothing to do with anything.

The concept of justice has always been controversial. Is a normal member of society meant to deal with criminals or wait for the law to take its course? If the law doesn't take its course, what are the normal members of society to do? Should they take the law into their own hands? I can't wait to read this book and find out how it answers these questions.
Thank you for this wonderful review.

I've heard lots of stories about people with multiple personality disorder. Perhaps I can gain more insight about this disorder from this book.

The book title is eye catching. I will be looking forward to learning about blind justice.

I've always been a fan of vigilantism. Not because I agree with their methods, but because it's thrilling, watching them beat up people who manage to slip past the law. Thanks for the review.

Justice must be seen to be to all. Not to be seen to be done by some or a few. Justice as it is must spread across everyone and must be the same. I think the concept of Blind Justice intrigued me. Lol. Should we have something like that? Thank you for this amazing review.

I am certain everyone else was captivated by the title of the book. If the author could do so much with just the title, I wonder what else he can do. Blind justice seems to be an amazing novel. What IS the blind Justice's goal?

Till now, I am convincd that multiple personality disorder does not really exist. I am yet to meet a person with multiple personality disorder. However, i would like to read this book to know more about it.
