Customer Reviews

Can Someone Make this a Movie?

I loved this book. I read it cover to cover in 2 days. Hilarious and witty. I would love to see this book as a movie.

Fitzhugh

In "Heart Seizure" Fitzhugh has done it again. He is the master of fast paced, frenetic comedy of the zany sort. The irony of it all is, this COULD happen. But read it for yourself!

Heart Siezure

I keep telling you I own it and I loved it but you keep asking my opinion. What's up?

Fitzhugh is Awesome!!!

Heart Seizure is a political satire that will keep the pages turning. Fitzhugh is an incredibly intelligent writer with a knack for plot twists and intersections that will keep your head spinning. He does a breathtaking job of taking something that most people despise and turning it into something that we can laugh at, showing the ridiculousness of it all.

Funniest book I've read!

Spence and Boyd's mom needs a heart transplant. So does the President of the U.S. Both have a rare blood type. Mom is next in line, a perfect donor is in place, but the Pres. has top priority. Not to Spence! He absconds with the heart, his mom, a resident doctor, a policeman, his brother and his brother's cherished vintage Mustang. Now the chase is on! There are so many laugh-aloud moments in this book. The agents following them on their journey...Rodgers and Hart. Boyd,the straight-laced brother, whose wife does a most unusual thingwith a government agent. The skate-boarding Rasta-boy and his drop-dead funny Rasta speak! I honestly was glad that my neighbor in the next condo had moved out. Fear that he would hear me laughing hysterically and wonder what was wrong with me! I was one of the first reviewers of Bill Fitzhugh's "Pest Control." He e-mailed me to thank me for my 5 star review. Since then I have gone up and down on his books...loved "CrossDressing", not so much "Fender Benders", started "Organ Grinders" but didn't finish. This one is GREAT! TOO FUNNY! Enjoy!
