K-Pax III: The Worlds of Prot

Great Item, Quick Delivery

Hello all,This is already a third part of this beautiful prot's story, so if you havent read the previous ones, you might be lost.However, for those who did that as me, this is just a continuation of the amazing story, revealing other important facts from rob's life and childhood that were not touched by Gene before. So it is giving an overall picture. Although I am sure there are still some parts that couldnt be covered by Gene so far.I entirely recommend full trilogy, it is an interesting story of the human mind, its great strengths and showing the ways how one casual human being can fight again his life destiny by creating his own worlds..

This book is what looks like the end of the K-PAX series. It goes out on a good note. I am not upset that I read past the first, but the first was the best. The prot character has returned from the dark recesses of the mind of Robert Porter, or so we believe. Prot's arrogance toward the human race, and our self-destructive nature, wore on me a bit in this book.The hidden personalities of Robert Porter make appearances again. Giselle, Robert's wife, and recurrent character, is again, a high point. It was interesting to read about Dr. Brewer's internal conflict with retiring. Dr. Brewer's children were very good secondary characters.Well, this book will make little sense if you do not read the second one in the series, so read it. I liked all three books and I have passed them off to friends three times over already.epc

This book...this trilogy...is the best I have ever read.Robert Porter seemed to have a good life going for him. With his wife Giselle and their four month old son, Gene, he was contented. But then one day while bathing little Gene, something triggerd in Robert's mind. Preturbed, he calls his alien friend, prot, for assistance. Rob tells him he's "taking a break from his miserable life" and goes off to who knows where. Now that no one can find him, prot returnes to his former residence at the Manhattan Psychiatric Institute. He is to depart soon, bringing along 100 beings for an all expense paid trip to paradise. His psychiatrist, Dr. Gene Brewer, scrambles to find Robert and cure him of whatever the devastating malady he harbors might be.Prot believes he comes from the utopic PLANET K-PAX, and in the two previous books there is signifigant evidence that he actually does. But on the other hand, you see plausable examples that he does not. The author proves exceedingly talented by perfectly balancing out the options, whether prot is truley an alien being, or Robert Porter, a young man from Montana who experienced horrible trauma. You'll be intrested to know, in 3, Dr. Brewer discovers the truth. He manages to tie up all the loose ends in prot/Robert's tormented mind, and still is able to write the book without offending the reader's intelligence."K-PAX 3: The Worlds of Prot" is a perfect ending to a marvelous series. In my opinion, it couldn't be better! Honestly, it's changed the way I look at my own life and how I see others. I wish more people would read the trilogy.It's beautiful.

this book finishes the trilogy perfectly, whereas the major difficulty with the second book which was also fantastic was that if you were in the Prot is an alien "camp" it was put under a little bit more strain. Though clearly he still performed several weird things the discovery of the two new personalities Harry and Paul change things a bit. This book storms back with the trip to the museum, the end and one or two more pieces which I thought made this the best of the three books. Brewers writing style is frighteningly compelling and the book is difficult to put down for long, I will remember it for the rest of my days as I found it engaging as a novel yet it possessed a buzz that can only be found in truely uplifting pieces of work. Shame that its all over really!

Enjoyable but not as good as his previous Kpaxian outings.

The first of the K-PAX triology was brilliant, packed with fantastic revelations it was truly an original book. I couldn't put it down and eagerly awaited K-PAX 2. What a let down that was, the story just became silly rather than enlightening and nothing of great consequence happened to Prot - the alien alter ego. Gene Brewer (the doctor in the book) just became annoying.But I liked the first book so much that even though K-PAX 2 was such a dissappointment I still couldn't wait to read the last of the series. It's worse !! Hilariously badly thought out in places and just plain boring. Don't bother.Gene Brewer (the author of the book) should have stopped after the first book. It would have been a cult classic, but now he's tarnished the concept with these two uninsightful and uneventful sequels. What a shame!

Being a fan of the original K-Pax movie then book, I just had to read this supposed end to the trilogy. The writing was Mr. Brewer's usual excellence. However, though I'm not finished with this story, I peeked at the end. It's not over...

This last book of the K-Pax trilogy is as good as the two firsts. Prot is as funny as always with his particular vision of the human kind.

As good as his first two books in the series! A page turner and very thought provoking.

The last in the three part series featuring prot (that's how he spells it), a part of the personality of one Robert Porter, who, as a result of an abusive childhood has developed three personalities. But is prot merely part of Robert and his multiple personality disorder, or is he the real thing, that is, from KPAX, where everything is idyllic and void of any semblance to the life Robert lived, particularly the bad parts. Without spilling the beans, those who find the movie KPAX intriguing and, as I do, find a fascination with mental illnesses and the mystery that surrounds those unfortunate victims, will want to purchase the entire trilogy, "KPAX", "On A Beam Of Light" and "KPAX III". None of the books are very long but they do present some interesting takes on humans and how we behave, be it politics, religion, etc. Gene Brewer crafts an interesting tale and doesn't drown the reader in psychiatric technicalities, yet opens the door into a compelling world where medicine is in the Stone Age, treatment wise. There is the addition of obvious fiction (you'll know it when you read it) but all in all, it's a very enjoyable read.

Love this trilogy. Book was delivered much faster than expected.
