Beschreibung

Nine-year-old Louis Drax is a problem child: bright, precocious, deceitful, and dangerously, disturbingly, accident prone. When he falls off a cliff into a ravine, the accident seems almost predestined. Louis miraculously survives - but the family has been shattered. Louis' father has vanished, his mother is paralysed by shock, and Louis lies in a deep coma from which he may never emerge. In a clinic in Provence, Dr Pascal Dannachet tries to coax Louis back to consciousness. But the boy defies medical logic, startling Dannachet out of his safe preconceptions, and drawing him inexorably into the dark heart of Louis' buried world. Only Louis holds the key to the mystery surrounding his fall - and he can't communicate. Or can he?

Gripping plot, beautiful writing, well developed characters. Everything I ever want from a psychological detective story. Really looking forward how the movie adaption will turn out. The story follows Louis, a boy in a coma. His treating doctor is the second first person narrator (Louis himself being the first) that leads us through the ninth life of Louis Drax, unraveling the disturbed things that happened in the boys past. With the growing number of characters the bits and pieces click slowly into place. The pace is great, given some spare time it's easy to read it in a single sitting. The writing is uncomlicated. Def. recommend it!
