This books starts out with real promise. Investiagting journalist who looks into a local Marian miracle ends up going to the Vatican and to Medjugorje, Bosnia.There in Medjugorje he undergoes something of a conversion, meeting some of the visionaries and the saintly priest Fr Slavko.However, the book descends into the mess of the authors life and the book becomes something of a self therapy session.As if that weren't bad enough, he moves on from Medjugorje and looks at less authentic visions such as Scotsdale USA: lumping all these things together takes away from what should have been the thrust of the book: Medjugorje and the Vatican.So in the end I wish that the book had been edited and cleaned up. I wouldn't reccomend this book to someone who is wanting to look at Medjugorje: for that, read a real professional investigative journalist's work, 'Spark from Heaven: the Mystery of the Madonna of Medjugorje' by Mary Craig.
