The Psychotic Break #3

by Duncan MacLeod

Have you ever wanted to leave everything behind and go on a magical journey? This book will show you how. During the 1988 financial crisis in Mexico, even a mentally ill, homeless American could live like a king. In this third installment, Ethan escapes the confines of the Mental Health system on his journey to Mexico. Along the way, he encounters shamans, witches, martial artists and one dashingly handsome psychic rich kid with a penchant for causing trouble. Each encounter changes the picaresque Ethan as he winds his way deep into the heart of this magical nation.

Reviews

[Alvin · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first two books in the Psychotic Break series offer a dazzlingly good recreation of 1980s San Francisco while focusing on the dramatic mental health struggles of Ethan, the protagonist. #3, by contrast, is a Mexican vacation travelogue that seems like a quiet digression by contrast. I still plowed through it because by now I am hooked on Ethan's unique narrative voice and invested in his struggle to find love.
