Another book to share... Kill Me by Stephen White

This is my 1st book by this author which features this character, Dr Alan Gregory, a psychologist. When I was reading through it, the first thought which struck me was that if the character is part of the series, why is it not playing a vital part???

Well, seems that I was not paying attention:-) The entire book is not only touching the usual areas 1 can find... Dr Alan Gregory appears infrequently in name but He is everywhere in the book... Pay attention to what you are reading and you will see it...

A glimpse at the story:
This guy is rich, coming to middle age, adventurous and basically attracted to danger, got a nice family n an illegimate child... 1 of his cliques for those dangerous stuff suffered a mishap n ended up in a vegetable state, alive but not kicking... N he suffered an accident as well, though not as badly injured as his friend but got shaken by it badly... He blurted his thoughts about rather dying den suffering in a state of alive but not kicking... End up, he bought an "insurance policy" which allegedly will send someone to kill him once his threhold, the state which he declared that things should end. He actually had doubts about it but still bought it in the end... N that is when the nightmare starts... He was stricken by a disease and he is reaching his threhold...

I was touched by it in many ways... Sometimes I wonder that if I am stricken by a deadly disease with no cure, will I choose mercy killing to end my sufferings when I entered the stage of alive but not kicking??? Or will i continue to struggle because I don't want to disappoint the people around me??? And in the story, there's a part about his son(the illegimate child) and him... How they are vulnerable to each other... How much they want to love and open up to each other but yet they each have hurdles to cross... N finally, how 1 had chose to die for the other in the end in order to continue living... Complicating??? Den read the book;-)

This book can be a light read if you just skim through the surface... The essence of it is between the lines, interpretating the emotions and thoughts that makes it so rich... I had read 1 other book of the same series but my advice is, start with Kill Me.
