Customer Reviews

Executive Assistant to the Mayor, City of Mandeville

Finally! A book that has it all - mystery, character, challenge, adventure, romance, power and politics, murder, intimidation, faith and a final overcoming resolve to stand for what is right. All this and the excitement of not being able to guess the next move. I am amazed that this is a first time author. Thrilling to read - plus I have been left with the stirring anxiety that this level of stem cell research could possibly be true. Mr. Godwin do you know something we don't? Truth be told, I will not be "left behind" by Griffin Dowell. I plan to read every one in this series!

Awesome!

I just finished reading this book and I have to agree with those who said that they couldn't put it down and that it would make a great movie! A thumbs up to Glyn Godwin and I look forward to his next novel!

A Riveting Thriller

Body Politic is a political/legal/medical thriller that has no mercy on the reader. It begins a bit slowly with a little girl's dying brain rambling, but after the prologue, there's nowhere to stop.The characters are well-rounded, and the action is non-stop. What is more, although there are murders and suicides, and other such stuff, Body Politic is written cleanly, not one gratuitous "shock" word, not one gratuitous scene. My young daughter could read it without my worrying!I loved it!

Body Politic

Body Politic holds all the elements for a satisfying read:strong characters, local settings, suspense, glimpses into thesci-fi world of brain stem cell manipulations, politics, murder, greedy ambition, fast-paced action, and enough twists and turns to surprise the seasoned reader. Several of its characters willcome off the page and sit in the reader's lap. I highly recommend this absorbing book.

Body Politic

Body Politic; Glyn Godwin has given us a fast action look into the world of politics, power, greed and conscience. Not untill you are deep into the plot does the Prolog stab like a knife into your brain. With the underlying story of the concience or lack of concience of the charaters one wonders just how he would react in the same situation. There must be some ultimate set of rules to live by, some right and wrong values ___ A God that will ultimate make a judgment. I think this book could make a grest movie. It has a little bit of everything, lots of action and an underlying drama and conflict of conscience. I'm looking forward to his next book.
