Wow, the first impression certainly packs a punch. So few pages and yet we have a very good handle on the characters of Karina and Richard and how their lives have unfolded to this point in time. Acrimoniously divorced and now Richard's life and career are being ripped from him by ALS; whilst Karina's life has stagnated to one of seeming bitterness and loneliness.
The description of the progression of the disease through Richard's body is graphic and frightening. Definitely not one for hypochondriacs to read as it will lead you to believe that every twitch and spasm is the onset of this horrific killer.
