K-Pax Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Brewer has created an unfortgetable character in prot, and a novel that while Science Fiction, excels beyond the genre (not that there's a thing wrong with the genre). prot's tale is tragic, and though he be from K-Pax, so very human. "

" 9/10. What a great book! Very, very funny. If you've only seen the film they made based on this book then you've missed out. Nearly all the humour is lost in the film. Very highly recommended book. "

" K-Pax by Gene Brewer (???) "

" The movie was pretty good, so I decided to pick up the book. The book was good too, but science fiction really isn't my genre of choice. "

" This is a good book unfortunately made into a lackluster movie. Prot is a terrific character. Read it and decided for yourself what's going on with him. "

" One time I have to say that the screen play was just better, and if you liked the film, or the book, then do not read the second in the series... it works hard to strip all the magic from the story. "

" Saw the film first. This is a great read. "

" I remember enjoying this years ago, and dusted it off recently when looking for interesting books for my 11 year-old son. He's really enjoying it, too! "

" The movie really did justice to the book, I don't feel like it really added to the experience to read the book, which for me is a first, but I like the store and the characters and it was an enjoyable read. "

" One of the few books I've read after seeing the film, and for once I wasn't disappointed. It is a beautiful reflective tale of the nature of difference, the persistence of some beliefs in the face of opposition, and above all for me, compassion. "

" There have been far far better treatments of the 'Is he an alien or not?' concept, and in this the suspense is... non-existent. How it got picked up for a movie is a more intriguing mystery. Derivative pap. "

" A very good idea and story, but unfortunately poorly written. I watched the film with Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges before reading the book, and I found it very good. "

" This is a fun read. The ending will keep you guessing! "

" The 1st book is basically the movie word for word (or the movie is basically the 1st book, I suppose) then there's 2 other parts after that. Good holiday read, nothing too taxing but quite pleasant. "

" The movie really did justice to the book, I don't feel like it really added to the experience to read the book, which for me is a first, but I like the store and the characters and it was an enjoyable read. "

" Story has a great purpose and meaning behind it, but the execution was sort of so-so. Also, I became quite tired of the plodding portions where hypnotism was involved. Took me down into the quagmire of patient diagnosis when what I really desired was to go to KPax with Prot. A mediocre read... "

" 9/10. What a great book! Very, very funny. If you've only seen the film they made based on this book then you've missed out. Nearly all the humour is lost in the film. Very highly recommended book. "

" you might not like the story BUT FOR THE PLANETARY MESSAGE everybody has to read these books "

" I saw the movie first and liked it enough to hope the book was better. It wasn't. "

" I saw the movie first and when I found out it was a book I decided to check it out. I really liked the story, a little bit different from the movie which is sometimes nice and it was in this book. Very easy to read. "

" Great book. Don't bother with the rest of the trilogy. "

" I wish I had read the book before seeing the film. This is one of the few times when the movie outshines the book. "
