  <description><![CDATA[Imagine a time and space traveler from another planet.  One that looks human and exemplifies the ideal world he comes from, a world free from human nature's greed and cruelty.  That creature would be &quot;prot&quot;, as he calls himself, the newest patient at the Manhattan Psychiatric Institute.<br/><br/>Prot seems to know more than he should about faster-than-the-speed-of-light-travel.  And besides drawing constellations as viewed from K-PAX, the name of his home planet, &quot;prot&quot; can describe its orbit around double suns in unpublished detail.  Who is &quot;prot&quot; and where did he really come from?  Why does he have the ability to cure severe mental cases? And to disappear at will?  And to charm everyone he comes into contact with?<br/><br/>Bizarre delusion or reality?  Listen in as a psychiatrist who specializes in delusional behavior documents his sessions with the man from K-PAX.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[His name is Prot. Nobody knows where he's from. And everyone wants to go there.Psychiatrist Gene Brewer doesn't have a diagnosis for the mysterious new patient who calls himself &quot;prot&quot; (rhymes with goat).But this strange and likeable man cannot be-as he claims-from the planet K-PAX.Or can he?Prot knows facts about space that are confounding the experts.He is soon revealing Dr. Brewer's own deepest pains and most sublime longings.And his tales of K-PAX have other patients competing to go along with him when he heads &quot;home.&quot;Now the doctor is racing the clock to find prot's true identity before he loses a man whose &quot;madness&quot; might just save them all....Published in a dozen countries with movie rights sold to the producer of Field of Dreams, K-PAX has touched the hearts and expanded the horizons of readers around the world.It promises to join Robert Heinlein's classic Stranger in a Strange Land as a moving, thought-provoking masterpiece of modern-day fiction.AUTHORBIO: Gene Brewer was born and raised in Muncie, Indiana, and educated at DePauw University and the University of Wisconsin, Madison.Before becoming a novelist, he studied DNA replication and cell division at several major research institutions.Dr. Brewer lives in New York City with his wife and Dalmatian.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I saw the film a long time before picking up the book.  I have to say that this is one of those rare occasions when I actually think the film was better than the book.  <br/><br/>Of course I knew the basic story already and I enjoyed it.

    <body><![CDATA[I read this story well before the movie came out.  It seems almost sci-fi in nature, but keeps you guessing about the main character, Prot.  The ending is ambiguous, so the mystery continues.  That might be a letdown for some, but it only made the book more memorable for me.

    <![CDATA[His name is Prot. Nobody knows where he's from. And everyone wants to go there.Psychiatrist Gene Brewer doesn't have a diagnosis for the mysterious new patient who calls himself &quot;prot&quot; (rhymes with goat).But this strange and likeable man cannot be-as he claims-from the planet K-PAX.Or can he?Prot knows facts about space that are confounding the experts.He is soon revealing Dr. Brewer's own deepest pains and most sublime longings.And his tales of K-PAX have other patients competing to go along with him when he heads &quot;home.&quot;Now the doctor is racing the clock to find prot's true identity before he loses a man whose &quot;madness&quot; might just save them all....Published in a dozen countries with movie rights sold to the producer of Field of Dreams, K-PAX has touched the hearts and expanded the horizons of readers around the world.It promises to join Robert Heinlein's classic Stranger in a Strange Land as a moving, thought-provoking masterpiece of modern-day fiction.AUTHORBIO: Gene Brewer was born and raised in Muncie, Indiana, and educated at DePauw University and the University of Wisconsin, Madison.Before becoming a novelist, he studied DNA replication and cell division at several major research institutions.Dr. Brewer lives in New York City with his wife and Dalmatian.]]>

    <![CDATA[His name is Prot. Nobody knows where he's from. And everyone wants to go there.Psychiatrist Gene Brewer doesn't have a diagnosis for the mysterious new patient who calls himself &quot;prot&quot; (rhymes with goat).But this strange and likeable man cannot be-as he claims-from the planet K-PAX.Or can he?Prot knows facts about space that are confounding the experts.He is soon revealing Dr. Brewer's own deepest pains and most sublime longings.And his tales of K-PAX have other patients competing to go along with him when he heads &quot;home.&quot;Now the doctor is racing the clock to find prot's true identity before he loses a man whose &quot;madness&quot; might just save them all....Published in a dozen countries with movie rights sold to the producer of Field of Dreams, K-PAX has touched the hearts and expanded the horizons of readers around the world.It promises to join Robert Heinlein's classic Stranger in a Strange Land as a moving, thought-provoking masterpiece of modern-day fiction.AUTHORBIO: Gene Brewer was born and raised in Muncie, Indiana, and educated at DePauw University and the University of Wisconsin, Madison.Before becoming a novelist, he studied DNA replication and cell division at several major research institutions.Dr. Brewer lives in New York City with his wife and Dalmatian.]]>
