A story with a theme. What happens when abortion fails?

A newborn is laid aside to die with no care provided because its abortion had failed. When the baby is taken from the room where it lay abandoned the hospital calls it kidnapping. The kidnapping done by a group the FBI has been seeking for more than a decade leaves the public outraged and afraid.

The kidnappers call this a rescue and the saving of a life. They contact journalist Morgan Wallace to help make their story public.

The Justice Department responds by calling it domestic terrorism. And now it is a political football …

This is a beautiful story. Well researched.… (mehr)

I've decided that for this review I am just going to make a list of the good and the bad.

The good:
-The author did a good job in describing the characters and places.
-The book really picked up and my interest grew when Morgan arrived at the Limbo complex.
-I liked the Morgan's character growth as he interacts with the people at Limbo.

The bad:
-The beginning was kind of confusing because of the switch in time.
-The author never stated when there was a passing of time or a flashback so the reader had to basically figure it out on their own. This made the whole first half of the book confusing to me.
-At points this book became very preachy and propaganda-like.
-Some of the dialogue of the African American characters was stereotypical and verged on offensive a bit.
-The press conference that took place in the book was unrealistic. There is no way that the FBI would give out all that info to the press (i.e. giving a list of witnesses, telling the press what they will charge the suspect with before they even charge him).

So basically the bad kind of outweighed the good in this book. I picked this up for free on Amazon and probably wouldn't spend any money on this book. I personally would not recommend this book to anyone.… (mehr)
