Customer Reviews of Life Support

Very good!
Mr. Whitlow is a very accomplished author. I've read all of his books, and this one is just as good as his other works. I describe Robert Whitlow as the Tommy Lee Jones of Christian Fiction. Here's how that analogy works. Tommy Lee Jones is always cool, calm & collected in his demeanor, but when the time is just right, HE EXPLODES and has you holding on to your seat! That is the same way with Robert Whitlow, and for the world of Christian Fiction, it is very refreshing.

This book has an awesome array of characters. You really get drawn into the plot, and more and more interested as Rena & Ezra do battle concerning Baxter's life support, with Alex the attorney in the middle of it. This book paints a beautiful portrait of Christianity, at the peak of people under pressure, while trusting in God the whole time.

Can't Wait For the Sequel!
I have read all of Whitlow's books and he just gets better and better. I knew by the end of the first chapter that this was going to be his best yet. Whitlow has matured as a writer with each succeeding novel. His characters are real people who deal with real life issues, and his plots grab hold of you and leave you hungry for more. The battle between good and evil always gets a work-out in his stories. It's easy to see why he is a Christy award winner. As for the "Grisham-esque" moniker--it's well-deserved. It's also a breath of fresh air for those of us who are Christian males--and avid readers--to get some good fireside reading from authors who have important words for the Body of Christ, and who, at the same time, can stand toe to toe in the secular realm. If ever there were crossover novels, it's Whitlow's. I will purchase the next Whitlow novel, and the next, and the next after that.

Disappointing
I rarely write reviews but this book left me shaking my head. I enjoyed the initial set up with Rena and her husband. The romantic/spiritual subplot seemed contrived and disconnected to the basic plot, until the end of course when the God guy saves the day...with a couple of 30 minute sessions.

I was hoping that Alex would begin to sense something was wrong and she would be forced to reevaluate her biases. But no luck.

As I approached the final 10 pages of the book, with no twist in sight, I began to smell an overly simplistic, rushed conclusion...and that's what I got. Oh well. I did enjoy The List.
