Well, this story is pathetic. This author attempts to make fun of people who are paraplegic. In the book, a paraplegic son puts himself at the center of the universe and demands a lot of attention, which is sort of realistic and ridiculous. The paraplegic makes unreasonable demands of his mother and she has a breakdown and kills herself. The paraplegic is sent to live in a hospital where he is tormented by his roommate who is addicted to Tom and Jerry cartoons. I laughed out loud at one scene in the hospital. I would like to ask the author to find something else to ridicule. People do not go hospitals and beat up or laugh at the sick and injured people. Do they? No.I do not think it is funny to make fun of paraplegics, so I went on to the next book. This author was brave to attempt making fun of paraplegics. It is not a place I would go. I am pretty sure Princess Diana would frown at it too.
