My Review:
Reviewed by Laura Fabiani

Miracle Man is one of those novels you keep thinking about long after you read the last page. From the moment I met the character Robert James Austin (Bobby), I was intrigued, enthralled and enamored with him. Author William R. Leibowitz begins the saga of a fictional man who would become the greatest genius in human history. From his childhood, adolescence and finally adulthood, we are immersed into Bobby's world. And what a fascinating world it is!

Bobby is determined to use his intellectual superiority to help the world through disease cures. This causes him to have enemies, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. It also conflicts with the government who had given him the opportunity to attend a special educational institution for geniuses and now wants to use him for military and defense advancement. Bobby has to decide how he is going to live his life, a life so far different from everyone else.

This book was captivating and engrossing. There is excellent character development, especially with Bobby and those close to him. We get to see him grow up and develop into a man who becomes a controversy while being revered. We cheer his successes and cry with him when he loses loved ones. Bobby's genius is both a gift and a curse, causing him to have horrific nightmares. Throughout the novel, the reader wonders why this happens, and the author creates a plot surrounding this phenomenon that brings the story to a climactic and surprising ending.

For those concerned with content, there are scenes of drug and alcohol abuse, and mention of men with depraved sexual lifestyles. These are not explicit, however.

I enjoyed reading Miracle Man and look forward to reading the sequel The Austin Paradox. Leibowitz is a great storyteller and I am now a fan.
