 K-Pax II: On A Beam Of Light - Gene Brewer
 K-Pax II: On A Beam Of Light - Gene Brewer ... novel in which a man called 'prot' (rhyming with goat) claims he is a perfect being from the planet K-Pax-an idyllic world without wars, government or religion. On a Beam of Light is the tale of prot's return to earth and his plan to take some beings back with him, the next time he goes home. For Dr. Brewer, as well as for the patients who are desperate to win his favour in the hope that they might be chosen, it is a race against time, for this visit prot claims, will be his last.Newest Review: ... the set up of the book as an academic text about the sessions that Robert/Prot has with Dr Brewer. This gives the book an ... more ... interesting structure and allows Brewer to explore Prot’s visit from an outsider’s perspective. If the book had been told from Prot’s point of view, I do not think that the impact would have been as good.
I loved the central theme that ran through this book of American society waiting for the return of Prot. At the end of the previous book he promised to return in 5 years. ‘K-Pax II’ opens with his return after Robert has been in a self induced coma for 5 years. The media and public have been inspired by Prot...more |

I must warn you that this review contains a SPOILER. As a rule I hate reviews that contain elements that will ruin the experience for others, but in this case I must do it to try and make you understand why this book is broken. It is not a SPOILER that affects the story in any real way and you can easily read my review and have no idea where the book is going. It is just something that happens as an aside that blew my mind. If I inform you about the blatant stupidity in ‘K-Pax II – On a Beam of Light’ you may avoid the anger that welled up in me! Prot is back. He is an alien that reportedly comes from a planet called K-Pax and visits Earth regularly. ... Read the complete review

In a nutshell, crazy man thinks he’s an alien. Crazy doctor thinks crazy man is not really an alien but is instead a different crazy man. Lots of craziness ensues. Imagine waking up one day, with an idea for a book. Then imagine, writing the book and watching it become successful almost over night – so successful that not only does it sell a great number of copies, but the film rights are snapped up just like that. Wanting to cash in just a bit more on the success, it’s not surprising that the word “sequel” might spring to mind. K-Pax 2 is, in some ways, just K-Pax with a 2 stuck on the end. The main characters are the same ... Read the complete review
