Wonders Never Cease


So for my next book review, I am doing Wonders Never Cease by Tim Downs. I was excited to read this one because it sounded like it was going to be a good one.Here is the summary of the book.
"When a car accident leaves a famous movie star in a coma, nurse Kemp McAvoy thinks he has found his ticket to the life he's always wanted. As a med school dropout who was on his way to becoming an anesthesiologist, Kemp has the knowledge to carry off the crazy plan he concocts: adjust the star's medication each night and pretend to be a heavenly visitor giving her messages. He recruits her agent and a down-and-out publisher to make sure the messages will become the next spiritual bestseller and make them all rich.But his girlfriend's daughter, Leah, keeps telling people that she is seeing angels, and her mother and her teachers are all afraid that something is wrong.Before it's all over, they'll all learn a few things about angels, love, and hope."

Sounds good right? It followed the story line pretty well, and then all of sudden there would be another story line and add characters. It was almost like the author would be writing and then decide he would tie something else in. It is supposed to be about angels and a little girl seeing them,but in the end it just turns out to be tumors and a guy trying to make some quick money. It didn't run smoothly and the ending sounded like the author just got tired of writing. It isn't a book I would recommend.
