Review: Long LONG Journey

I really tried to get thru this book.  I tried to like it.  But it died for me when the doctor/patient relationship came roaring back. Maybe if I finished the book I'd see that it was more realistic, that what should have happened, in fact, did happen. Without spoiling it for you, if the patient's reaction to his doctor wasn't so unbelievable I might have continued. And the behavior of the patient from the beginning was annoying.  He's locked away for years, he's released because of an world altering event, he's awkward in his new found freedom but he's bold enough to figure out how to get from one point to the next, to venture out in the dead of night, to protect himself, but then he does very, very stupid things.  He's smart, he's stupid.  He's brave, he's a wimp.  I decided the long journey was a little too long for me.
