Robert Whitlow did himself a favor by starting out of the gate with a very nice pace. He also closes his novel "Greater Love" with room to expand, and makes way for the possibility of yet another chapter in the lives of his novels characters. I appreciate the legalese of a good John Grisham novel, and Mr. Whitlow didn't quite take me that far in this writing, but the capability of continuing in the adventure of the young lawyer, and her surrounding cast make the intrigue all the more great! Kobe Bryant is not Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson, and Robert Whitlow is not John Grisham, but since the comparison was manifested on the books cover, I am going to have to say this... I didn't get the same spine tingling feel that I do in the setting of a Grisham courtroom thriller, however, I could certainly feel Mr. Whitlow's embrace for Southern hospitality, and family compassion. I could envision Mrs. Fairmonts house, and the atomosphere of family, and home, but didn't feel the same way about the office, and courthouse. This has classic chick flick potential, and I believe that Mr. Whitlow is on to something good!
To conclude, if you like novels that could lead to chick flick material, then this mid Georgia Christian law novel will be a fine read for you. I gave it 4 stars out of a possible 5.
