The Miracle Stealer

No time for introductions today, I need to get this down FAST! I just finished the most wonderful book and I need to share it with you before I forget everything about it!
 This book is called "The Miracle Stealer" by Neil Connelly. 
*DISCLAIMER* If you don't like books about religion, faith or miracles, just leave the page now. But first, tell me what you think of my picture! That's me, by the way.

Back to before I interrupted myself. Basically, this book is about a little boy named Daniel who falls down a hole when he's three and lives. Because of this, the town he and his big sister live in now believe he is a miracle child and they all go to him for blessing. They follow him, reporters stalk him for interviews and this now six year old boy is beginning to feel like he's special in a way that makes him believe he can do everything. And when he can't, well, read the book and learn. Anyways, Anderson (Daniel's nineteen year old sister) is sick of this happening to her brother. So she decides that the miracles have to stop. She also believes she can end them.

This book is amazing! I loved it so much, it was so real and honest. I'm not normally into religious type books, but there was a some blasphemy, so it wasn't all bible-thumping goodness. This book for sure registers under one of favorites, along with another book that I'll review soon. I give this books 4.5/5 white robes (I don't believe all reviews should be measured equally, so each review has a different unit of measure that matches it. Read the book and you'll get this one), simply because the book focused on one topic and one topic only, which I liked, but I would've enjoyed a deeper sub-plot line. Other than that, this book is great and I recommend it to everyone that stayed to read more about it!

Until then, keep viewing.

Yours truly,
Elizabeth
