This is not the first book by this author. I expected to like it, but pretty early on I got an inkling I wouldn't. The plot started out promising with some interesting characters: a televangelist, a couple very experienced attorneys and a high school girl without much brain power. But my interest lessened quickly. The book is heavy on the philosophical/religious aspects of the abortion debate and I'm not interested in either. The dialogue is very stilted and unconvincing.

My wife and I both thought this legal thriller was an excellent read. The lawyers on both sides of the issue were quite likeable characters and the author did a good job articulating both sides of the abortion debate.

I'll definitely be reading Thompson's other novels in the coming months.

Compared to a John Grisham novel this is an easy read, but one that still keeps you involved and offers some good questions about the issue of Abortion, although it seems clear which side of the debate that the author might side with. Good ending makes it a good read.
I liked this one because I learned a lot about the abortion issue that I was unawear of. It did not change my stance, but it did make me better understand the other side. A book that teaches you something in worth reading.
Thompson is (or was when I read this) a practicing attorney in Texas. Entertaining legal fiction that tortloving lawyers will enjoy. I liked it so much I called Mr. Thompson-he was very gracious.
I am the author of So Help Me God - it is soon to be released once again this time as a Kindle book and an Audio book.
FABULOUS READ!
I have read all of the books by this author. The punch line on this was the best, but the journey was a little tedious. I forged through the middle and was glad.
veyr good read. i couldn't put it down. Definitely recomend to anyone.
This should be a movie! It took forever to get to the trial, but the end was totally worth it!
