Review of Can I Be Frank?
[Following is a volunteer review of "Can I Be Frank?" by Rob Wyatt.]
Meet Father Frank Gold fresh off a plane from England and shoved rather rudely into the steaming Florida coast. Having to fight a baggage-eating escalator and suspicious airport control workers, he finally makes it outside. Upon meeting Father Williams which indecently likes to be called Bill, his ride to his new home, he knows what low flying in a beast of a car means. After a nerve-wracking arrival, he tries to settle down in his father Frank way. Unfortunately, our dear Father is a walking disaster looking for a place to happen. Although he will swear on his life, none of the unexpected turmoil around him can be his fault. Could it? While fighting the rather unwelcome advances of a beautiful women, he also needs to cope with his first Mass, and all this while it seems that the whole of America is speaking foreign. If this isn't enough, Father Williams or Bill insists that father Frank learns to enjoy Budweiser. He also gets him a rather unsuitable car with a spray paint job visible from space. Which then leads to an encounter out of this world. The universe seems to be trying its best to work against Father Frank. Soon he learns that God truly works in mysterious ways. The thing is, while it seems that everything goes down the toilet, he finds it hard to believe. Will Father Frank and his new friends be able to rescue the illegal immigrants. Do aliens exist? Was he kidnapped on a spaceship? Or was it all just in his head? Could all this be blamed on simple memory loss? If this isn't enough, Father Frank must deal with the sudden miraculous manifestations of Mary and Elvis at the Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church. It sets the course for big things to come.
I must admit meeting Father Frank in the pages of Can-I-be-Frank by Rob Wyatt was a real treat. He had me giggling aloud as I read. While picturing him doing something unintentionally and waiting to see what the significant outcome would be made this for a book I could not put down. Rob Wyatt does a good job introducing Father Frank, taking the reader back to his years learning to become a priest. It shows you the vulnerable side of Father Frank when he is accused wrongly of something when he is innocent. It sure makes you think how it must be in the real world of the priesthood. Their fears of being scrutinized the whole time and being victim of judgement. I like how he started every chapter with an appropriate verse which is very refreshing. The author does a great job of showing the reader that believing isn't that hard. It could be fun.
I could find nothing negative about this book it flowed well and the research that went into writing this story was well done.
I found that the book was well written, while it seems to be professionally edited:I give this book a well-deserved 4 out of 4 stars. The book is suited for a religious audience.
