Book Review: I Read Grays Anatomy One Saturday - Ian McGoohan

McGoohan writes well, and deserves his epithet, One Of The Best Living Authors Today. But heavens above what has this man been reading? McGoohan says he does his research throughly, but in this work he seems to have gone on a weekend bender with a delegation or brain surgeons.

Protagonist Harry Reknowne is happy in his hospital but against a backdrop of 9/11 he feels something is darkening in his own world. Critics have been unkind about using the mechanism which jars like a jarring machine turned up to ten (ed - is that a good simile?), and I agree because I don't know any better. As events conspire against Reknowne, he finds himself struggling to save his family. Fortunately when confronted by his antagonisers, he has a hefty copy of Gray's Anatomy to hand and is able to bludgeon them to near death.

Did I enjoy this book? Don't ask me, I haven't read it. But I can tell you something for definite - its one heck of a tour de force.
