By Scubablt
Wow! What happened to dr. Cook? I love his books, have read almost of them, ab
and couldnt wait for Intervention to come out. But I was shocked to how poorly
it is! I paid $20 for it on eReader, and I want a refund!! It was pathetic the
way he tried to combine 2 stories that had no real connection. As a Christian
church pastor I enjoyed t a degree the religious theme, but why the story line
about the alternative medicine, too? The two did not mix well.
I will
probably read the next book Cook writes, but I am terribly disappointed in this
one. A real bore with no passion to make me want to sit down and read it all. I
hope he gets back to the style we have all come to love in his next book.
