Rating: Summary: Powerful, Rich, Entertaining Review: The Trial exhibits one of the finest pieces of creative writing that I have seen in the Christian market. Whitlow, the author, combines a legal thriller style with a personal, down-home touch without losing the quality of either. His characters and wit keep the book well-rounded, while a powerful story plot carries the reader through to the very end. Perhaps most importantly, Whitlow never allows his religious faith to become dogmatic, but rather works it into the story in a very real and profound way. I also recommend The Great Divide by T. Davis Bunn.
Rating: Summary: Hmm... This is awesome! Review: This is a book that keeps the pace moving. This was the third Whitlow book I'd read, and I consider it his personal best. Warning to all readers: You will get caught up in this book! Gun or pills? Pills or gun? How do you kill yourself when you have nothing to live for? Those are the questions that attorney Kent "Mac" McClain asks himself one Friday afternoon. Pills or gun, gun or pills..... Then the phone rings! Mac is offered the case of a lifetime. Killing yourself can wait until later, because Mac is offered a case against the Hightower family, a family he took on once before, and lost against. He meets a Christian psychologist to do some evaluations on the accused, Peter Thomason. The question is this; Did Peter Hightower really kill anyone, or was he somehow set up? Whitlow is always a winner. Whitlow is always a supreme witness for Jesus and he doesn't leave you bored between pages either. This is a good book to start with if you want to read Robert Whitlow!
Rating: Summary: Delaware Reader Review: This is the best book I ever read. It was easy to follow and Whitlow is superb at describing the obvious. You don't have to be a student of law to enjoy this one. I recomend this one for all.
Rating: Summary: The trial.. marvelous Review: This is the first fiction I have read in a long time. I could not put it down waiting for the plot to unfold. How refreshing to have God's Word interwoven with suspense and a touch of romance. I will now read his first book The List. I love his style of writing. Perfect for summer reading. Enjoy
Rating: Summary: ANOTHER WINNER IN THE BAG Review: Whitlow's first book, The List, was a smash hit, but this second one really out does the first. The TRIAL delves into the life of a 56-year old attorney appointed to defend a young man accused of murder. The Trial is happening on two fronts: in the courtroom and in the heart of the defense counsel, Kent McClain. This book has humor, romance, intrigue, and spirtual truth. I would say the Trial has writing styles of such authors as Grisham and Baldacci. Whitlow's two books stands out among anyone in fiction today. I cannot wait for more titles from him. I also recommend TWO great stories for readers, which are The Great Divide by T.Davis Bunn and Stone Ponies by Tom Willard Thanks for a helpful yes on this review. TRIPP
