review 1: My Review: I really found this book absorbing and disturbing. Disturbing because it is about a real disease, from which the author himself suffers. The despair that Kelly felt which led him to hostage taking is brought home to the reader. Unfortunately many people have found themselves bewildered and hurt at the hands of the very doctors and drug companies and Gov. officials that are suppose to help us. Kudos to the author for bringing this to light. I know I will research a lot more before I blithely take medicine of any kind just because it’s prescribed. The book dragged a little through the middle but still built the story well. I was hoping for a happier ending but it really ended the only way it could I guess. I give this book 4 stars.
review 2: A medica... morelly-themed thriller with an unusual protagonist. He's a trained killer, an IRA assassin who turns his skills on the doctors whose ignorance and arrogance caused his wife to suffer horrendously. In fact, the author suffered from the same medical malpractice, a lifelong affliction which rarely gives a moment of peace from the pain. This is what inspired him to write this book and what gives it a very real feeling of authenticity. We are well able to understand the motivations behind the man's actions and the antagonism towards a profession which occasionally believes it has God-like powers. The tension builds inexorably towards an explosive climax – and we cannot help but find ourselves cheering him on. less
