FRANK, the story about the first successful brain transplant, explores the age-old question of human identity . . . and demonstrates the impact a single individual can have on the lives of others.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Petrovsky's book "Frank" is original and complex, and works on many levels as a beatifully written and compelling tale. At first blush, the title and description suggest science fiction, and "Frank" certainly is that. As the previous reviewer mentioned, once into the book, the reader forgets the "science" part of the fiction and is drawn into the character, his relationships with the others, and ultimately, the larger question of what constitutes humanity. Absolutley recommend!
Really makes you think!

Fred Petrovsky does a super job making this book come to life. As you read it, you forget this is a work of fiction, and start to think that the first brain transplant has actually occurred. The characters are so real, and their challenges and feelings so genuine, you really feel their conflicting emotions.
