This book, Life Support, has all the tentacles of the Terri Sciavo case, only with differing medical conditions.

A legal thriller, I instinctively put this book up against John Grisham, and no matter how repetitive Grisham's novels have become, I can't deny that this author simply knows how to weave a masterful story.
In terms of storytelling, Life Support isn't very gripping. The first chapter opens with the crime being committed. It felt a tad too hysterical, emotions and thoughts thrown in haphazardly, everything heightened to the point where you just can't take it seriously anymore.

There are all sorts of questions. You wonder who really has the best interests of Baxter at heart, if he's a good person, and does that matter in the end. One of the biggest questions many readers may grapple with (if they haven't already) is how they feel about the question of extended life support and when or if it should be stopped.
Robert Whitlow examines all of this in the context of one case and one group of people who all seem to have questionable motives. The lawyer at the he More...

The book for review is ” Life Support” by Robert Whitlow.
I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. I simply loved this book-read it in one day.
The author hooked us from the start. The story is about a lawyer, Alexia Lindale, who is defending a young woman who is guilty of killing her husband. However, Lindale does now have that knowledge, the audience however does. The book is a page turner. One keeps expecting the cat to be let out of the bag. The book flowed well an More...

Good read mainly because God will use people & situations to bring non believers and also help them find their way back to the right path. This proves the saying God works in mysterious ways.
This book has an exciting storyline, and deals with many controversial issues such as removal of life support and mental instability. A young lawyer is one of the main characters, but it is almost more of a medical story than a l More...

Really enjoyed this book. This is the 2nd Winslow book that I have read and I have enjoyed them book greatly. I felt that both the legal and medical aspects of this book were well written with not too much boring detail but just the right amount so you understand but are not overwhelmed. I like the fact that Whitlow does not write the Christians in this book as perfect but real humans that have struggles and doubts like everyone. The metaphors that Winslow uses between life support, music an

So, let me just say starting this book it pulls you right in It’s a nice scene with Rena and Baxter until you realize Rena is a little crazy. Then of course you have Alex, The lawyer and Ezra, Baxters dad. So, Basically alot of the first part of the book is between Ezra and Rena. In which Rena wants to turn off Baxters life support and Ezra does not. I dont want to give too much away. But, the story is good, The characters are likable, and it flows well. This is also the first book in a series.

I was excited to read Life Support by Robert Whitlow because somehow I got the impression that it was set in North Carolina, somewhere near where I live. Even after I found it was set in South Carolina mostly, I still enjoyed some of the scenery described because it still sounded like some of the hikes I take here in North Carolina.

Ever since John Grisham wrote "The Firm" and it became a run-away bestseller, legal thrillers have become a dime a dozen. Lots of book publishers have sought to cash in on the trend toward the public's interest and the legal thriller has almost become its own genre-so much so that I fully expect it to get its own section in the bookstore someday. So, it probably shouldn't come as too great a shock that there would, eventually, be a subset of the Christian publishing genre for a legal t

The first of a two book series that takes you on the journey of finding faith as a newlywed wife tries to kill her husband at a waterfall. She assumes he's dead, but she could never be more wrong as he is left in a coma and she is forced to care for him and wait through an investigation. Covering her tracks becomes difficult and trying to hide his insurance money becomes a motive. As the reader sees all this happening, they begin to understand WHY the newlywed wife does as she does and her claim

Absolutely Beautiful. I loved this book. Living in the area of the country that the story is told made the location comments much more meaningful.
Characters were well written, storylines tight, a page turner and a five stars thumbs up.
I would recommend this book at the top of my list.

If you want to know how the book ends you have to buy a sequel. It ends with as a cliff hanger. If I had known I would not have wasted the time reading this. Many, many details left open when this book is finished. Very unsatisfactory.

Please know you must read the second in the series to find out what happens. This book along with #2 "Life Everlasting" are really like one large book that was broken into two.

My second attempt with this author. No better than the fort. Same issue - the story is o.k. but is over written. I also do not like the open ending.

I loved the storyline in this book. The only complaint I have is with all the loose ends it leaves behind. However, the story continues. It seems that Mr. Whitlow wants you to read his other books to get the rest of the story. It worked. I'm hooked.

This book has an exciting storyline, and deals with many controversial issues such as removal of life support and mental instability. A young lawyer is one of the main characters, but it is almost more of a medical story than a legal one. I can't wait to read the sequel, "Life Everlasting" to discover what happens next!

Robert Whitlow is definitely an entertaining author. I enjoy books based in law and he adds a religious undertone which only adds to the enjoyment. He was recommended by my daughter and if there were more available in our library I would read more but alas they only have three. I have read all three and truly enjoyed them.

Second book of author Robert Whitlow that I am now reading- I am finding his style easy to read and the plot draws you in. Good character development.

I just finished this book tonight and ran to my library to see if there was a third book to the series. It had all kinds of twists and turns throughout the 2 novels that I didn't want to put them down. Whitlow is like the Christian "Gresham" and I always enjoys his novels.

Another good one by Whitlow. I think I liked The List and The Trial better, but still very good. It does make you stop and think about Life Support in a physical, as well as spiritual context.
