Life Support By Robert Whitlow

This is the first book of Alexia Lindale Series by Robert Whitlow. Alexia is a young and prominent lawyer who specialise in divorce cases.

One day, she was approached by Rena to help her with her case. Rena does not want and divorce. Instead she want her husband to be taken off the Life Support system. She told Alexia that is what her husband Baxter Richardson would have wanted. Standing in her way was her father in law.

At first I thought this book is something like John Grisham or Sue Grafton sort of book. However, it's not. I guess each author will have their own style of writing.

It was interesting to know that who pushed Baxter over the cliff in the beginning. However, I wished I know what's the motive.

It's very frustrating to see Alexia being duped into helping the murderous Rena. And I understand how Baxter's father must have been feeling. 

Along the way, Alexia encountered the Lord. It was interesting to see how the plot changes from then.

Overall, this has been quite a good read. There are still room for improvement.

The Final Hour by Andrew Klavan

Synopsis from Booksneeze.com:

The Homelanders are attacking—and it's Charlie's last chance to stop them.

Charlie West was an ordinary high school kid who went to bed one night and woke up in the clutches of terrorists and wanted by the police for murder. He also woke up with no memory of the events of the last year.

His memory is returning now and has brought the terrible realization that he knows when the terrorists are going to strike next.

Whatever it takes, Charlie knows he can't give in or give up until they're stopped . . . even when the final hour is ticking away.

My Comment

This is book is indeed a God sent for those who love action and suspense type of book. It's a page turner. It's action pack from the first page.

What I really like about this book is the determination and the courage shown by Charlie. Well, you can say it's just fiction. Any Tom Dick and Harry can write one thing and act another. But then for the author to have the heart of the thing it is something to be commented on. More people would take and take instead of making sacrifices.

What I dislike about this book is that the book I was supposed to received was a hard copy. But then  I received an e-mail that it was being replaced by an e-book. Those who knows me knew that I dislike reading e-book. Yup, I preferred paper I had a hard time trying to download a copy of this book. My home computer kept giving error message. Frankly, I have yet to successfully download this book.

But thank God to a good Samaritan who have requested the same book, forward her copy for me to read so that I can do this review. Thank you, "pal".

I would recommend this book for boys and girls from age 12 onwards.
