A scientific mistake involving pig kidney transplants in humans leads the outbreak of a killer disease. A reporter and a doctor try to uncover the truth regarding this new disease. Of course, the heads of the bio company who is responsible for this mistake do the only logical thing to do, which is to murder all the original patients, because no one will notice that all of them have kidney transplants and make a connection.
I learned a lot from this book. For example, if you want to kill someone, the best way to do it is ask your employee bulldozer driver to try and run them over, because all you have to do is ask, and he will never go to the police. Also, the best way to find out if someone is a closet homosexual is to ask him what his favorite music is. If it's Elton John and George Michael then he's gay! Yes, it's as silly as this. The whole book is filled with such nonsensical writing!!!
Utterly ridiculous, the characters are silly and never act logically. For example, if your gay lover is dying from a disease that you unwillingly carried, the best way to avenge yourselves would be to send the only people who want to uncover the truth into the bio company's headquarters and then sabotage the security system so that they would be in danger of getting caught. If you can laugh a hearty mwahahaha, all the better.
The amazing thing is that the writer takes the time to thank all the people who helped him and criticized his work before he actually submitted it to print.Really? they criticized you and still you came up with this? You mean it was actually worse before their criticism? amazing.
This is definitely nominee for the "worst book I've ever read" award.

pfui, grauenhaft geschrieben, voller Klischees. Da kann die interessante Thematik rund um Xenotransplantation den Karren auch nimmer aus dem Dreck ziehen.
