    I'm not really sure about what I've just finished reading. It could be just an incredible fantasy novel that takes place in an hospital I will never forget. Or it could be the half oneiric half realistic experience of a dying man in a comatose state. Or something else I cannot see right now.
    Fact is, the story is funny, intriguing, compelling. Gruesome at times. Loaded with great characters: they are so many, the Author displays a list at the end of the book. But they are so beautifully characterized, I never mixed them up nor got confused.
    I truly enjoyed this book. Which I obviously chose because of its sexy cover: a rule that always works.

  • BRILLIANT. Sick.

    When's Hollywood buying the movie rights? I devoured this Leviathan of a book in two nights. It's vivid, cinematic, witty, and rather sick. One thinks the Rubber Nurse is a sick invention already, but it gets worse...
