review 1: In Wonders Never Cease, nurse (and egotist) Kemp McAvoy believes he’s found a perfect way to make a million dollars without having to work for the money. When a famous, if over-the-hill, movie star is injured in an automobile accident, Kemp is assigned to her care in ICU. His money-making scheme involves the movie star’s agent and the publisher of a runaway bestseller called Lattes with God. His idea seems foolproof, but then surprises arise. Wonders Never Cease is written with Downs’ trademark humor, and at the same time it touches on some serious issues concerning our modern tendency to lean toward feel-good spirituality. Wonders Never Cease is a quick read, and an enjoyable one. It’s a perfect choice for a relaxing weekend in the easy ch... moreair.
review 2: My Review of : Wonders Never Cease by: Tim DownsTim Downs writes a light-hearted, at times laugh-out-loud story with Wonders Never Cease. When Kemp McAvoy, a despicable n’er-do-well comes up with a get-rich-quick scheme to impersonate an angel to a has-been actress, Olivia Hayden, the author weaves a tightly knit plot together that has a fairly predictable ending. Threaded into the story is a tender portrayal of a single Mom, Natalie, trying to raise her six year old daughter, Leah without any help from her selfish, live in boyfriend, Kemp. When Leah tells people she can see angels only the kind-hearted janitor at the hospital where Natalie and Kemp work seems to believe her far-fetched stories. I enjoyed Wonders Never Cease although I pretty much had the ending figured out by the fifteenth chapter. If the book has a draw back, that is the most glaring one: its predictable ending. That said, there were still some comical twists in the plot that captivated my attention enough to want to read to the end of the book. The villains are portrayed as buffoons for the most part and the manner in which they all get their comeuppance is applaudable. The author made sure any “violence” was mostly implied so the book is definitely family friendly. I couldn’t help but think the story would make a great Family Channel movie. Overall, I enjoyed reading Wonders Never Cease. It was a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.
