Narrative To Books K-PAX The Trilogy (K-Pax #1-3)
Dudes...
Get on board with this one.
I was utterly absorbed in this book.
I had planned to finally weed the garden today, (seriously, the situation is dire. You could film Survivor at my house). But did I? No I did not. Instead, I spent the day sprawled out on the lounge room floor with a box of Oreos and K-Pax.
Seeing as I haven't seen the movie I was able to get into the mystery of Prot's story. It really did keep me guessing the whole way through. I bounced between, ‘Aww. The poor, poor nutta’, and ‘Yep, Alien for sure’, before finally deciding that I didn’t actually care whether or not Prot was from another plant so as long as he kept making me laugh. Mostly by his fruit consumption.
I realise that this review isn’t particularly helpful to anyone wanting a summary of the plot or whatever. I even think calling this a ‘review’ is a giant stretch of the imagination. But nonetheless, I urge you to read it.
And if you happen to be in a position to set yourself up on the floor with a box or Oreos while doing it, then so much the better.

Have decided to revisit this book. I revisited the film the other night and it inspired me to read the trilogy again. It's been quite a while since I read them.I got sucked into the story telling from the first page - and although I'm still on book one, I am loving it. (It's been a weird and busy week so not a lot of reading time).I like books with a good mix of storytelling - from the sessions with Dr Brewer, to the other patients, to the Dr's life outside the hospital all mixed in with theI loved to read the books they were very well written
Sometimes Fiction is Stranger then the Truth. Enjoyable and easy and quick to read. Prot is an interesting character, and the interactions between him and Dr Brewer are always entertaining. But there is a fair bit of padding and repetition throughout the trilogy. I came to this book having caught snippets of the film K-PAX a few times. I always looked interesting and I wanted to watch it from the start - but had always come in mid way through. I still haven't seen the film. In essence the books
i thought this was an interesting book to read and found the plot to be rather intriguing. It is hard to give much commentary without a 'spoiler alert' so I will leave that to others in this forum. I found books 1, 2 and 3 kept my interest well and built on each other nicely. The writing was enjoyable and my only irritations were with the use of CAPITAL LETTERS for PLANETS and other THINGS which gets quite ANNOYING and added absolutely no value to the book. Also, while I appreciate a Green
Very good very enjoyable. Carl only gave this 3 stars. His position in the philip k dick fan club we started ((aka the dickians) see my review of the zap gun) will come in to question #dickheads
A man arrives in a Manhattan psychiatric unit, claiming to come from the planet K-PAX. Is he delusional, MPD and amnesiac, or telling the truth? His detailed, deadpan and sometimes literal answers to interrogation are often quite funny, though it is never clear whether this is deliberate on his part. He has great insight and empathy with animals and mental patients, great knowledge of astronomy, only eats fruit (skin and all), can see UV spectrum and can apparently disappear on a beam of light
