K-PAX

by Gene Brewer, 228pgs, paperback
Overall Grade: B+

It was sorta hard for this book to be suspenseful since I saw the movie long before I read it. Still, it is better than the movie in some respects, and it definitely worth reading if you haven't seen the movie yet. The main idea is that there is this man who calls himself prot in a psychiatric hospital who claims he is from a planet called K-PAX, etc, etc. And one of the doctors gets directly involved in trying to figure out what this guy's real story and tramatic past are before the date prot says he is "leaving."
