THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX

SICK is a very original novel, and Jay Bonansinga crafts some sympathetic and some vile characters. Our heroine, Sarah, is a stripper, who is experiencing mysterious headaches; she is diagnosed to have an inoperable brain tumor. Her friend, Dr. Henry Decker, tries to help her through this. However, one day the tumor mysteriously disappears, and it seems like Sara has "healed herself?". Meanwhile, a vicious serial killer is on the loose and somehow Sarah finds herself mysteriously involved. From this point on, a truly strange case of multiple personalities emerges, with some original twists from this crafty writer. There are some slow, redundant passages, but overall SICK is a very different and enjoyable read.

True Suspense... and it screams MAKE ME A MOVIE!

On a recent trip across the country, (via TWA), I bought this book and decided to read it on my flight... WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA! Summary: Sarah, a stripper, is on the verge of another nervous breakdown, suffering from headaches that just won't go away. The doctors are baffled by her condition, and just can't seem to diagnose anything. One doctor, a very expensive, high class, high research doctor, diagnoses Sarah with a tumor, directly inside of her brain. Awkwardness doesn't stop there though, the tumor, is a large black box. Surgery would be life threatening. Sarah then meets Henry, a psychiatrist whose way of practice has caused him to be the butt of everyone's jokes. Henry feels that people can be healed by imagining things that make them happy. But, this imagining, causes more problems than it's worth!
