CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.0 based on 27 reviews)
| Life Support, Santee Series by Bev Books (Lodi, CA) 5 Stars October 01, 2009 Life Support is well written from a Christian Lawyer's pen. The series deals with issues with-in our culture from a Judeo-Christian perspective. They are fast paced, readable, provocative, entertaining and hard to put-down until you've reached the last page. I think men would enjoy this author's work.
| | Excellent Read. Well Written. by T. Pyle (Alexandria, VA) 5 Stars September 20, 2009 I am reading all of Mr. Whitlow's books now. I stumbled upon him and just can't get enough. You can see his characters as if they were in the room with you and his descriptive writing of the southern locations makes you feel as though you are there. This book was a great mystery without cuss words and sex but lovely written. It was a page turner.
| | Life Support by Kenneth E. Roe 5 Stars May 05, 2009 Another Excellent book by Robert Whitlow--action packed, yet romantic side as well. If you read this book--first of 2 in the series (Life Everlasting), you might as well order the second because you want to find out what happens!!
| | A real knuckle-dragger, disappointing protagonist, lackluster plot by L.H. (Raleigh, NC USA) 1 Stars February 10, 2009 I'd heard a lot of build up about the Santee series, so I was eager to read Life Support and Life Everlasting. What a disappointment. It's like no one edited the author but allowed him to ramble on for over 800 pages that they just cut in half and published as two books. The women in the story are not very likeable. The protagonist is a woman lawyer who violates her own ethical standards with a client due to her prejudices against men and can't seem to run her life very well. The client, who saves her bacon with a big retainer after she got fired, is lying to her and she is not smart enough to even consider she's being deceived. Still, she's oddly callous. At one point, when her client's husband is going to be taken off a breathing machine, an action she fought hard in court to get, she's all put out because she's asked to drive four hours to be there when they unhook the machine because it ruins her weekend. The plot drags on scene after scene where nothing really happens, but sometimes something almost happens. The lawyer's murderous client gets crazier and crazier but continues to get away with it and the end is no more than a hook for the next book. Since I bought both books, I started Life Everlasting, got bored, read the last three chapters, and found the ending was predictable and unsatisfying. The only redeeming thing in this book is the healing through music part, which is interesting, but not enough to sustain me for two books at over 800 pages. Whitlow is a capable writer but it's like the publisher conspired with him to defraud his readers by suckering them into buying two books for $30 to get a story that could have easily been told in a single title.
| | Good read by James R. Cates (Burr Oak, Mi) 4 Stars January 12, 2009 The wife and husband go out to see a waterfall and for a romantic dinner on the top of the fall. She had a different plan in mind. She remembered the times her father took her to the same spot. All the abuse of her father came back as well. In their conversation she pushes him off the fall to the rocks below.
When the results don't kill him, it ensues a long battle with the family. The firm the attorney works for is the same firm the family uses. Problems ensue with conflict of interest that results in her termination.
The battle that plays out forces the attorney to decide between truth and lies. Following these characters will leave you anticipating what could possibly happen next and wanting to read the sequal.
