Summary: Fragile X
Comment: Fragile X: A powerful force bearing a voice of truth, compassion and courage.
Dr. Rice has artfully created a single story to the many which cleverly exposes the harsh and ruthless realities of Managed Health Care: a structured business whereby the decisions of physicians are compromised for the sake of capital gain.
Fragile X is the story of Molly Loomis. She is a young woman who by the wicked hand of Managed Health Care is wrongly surgically stripped of her God-given right to bear children. She is not, however, stripped of the keen, instinctual qualities that are ever-present in a woman's heart, being and spirit.
The characters are real: men and women who speak their truths with passion. And as I read, it was the courage of the characters, whose journeys to prevail, served as my hope for a future free of the pervasive predominance of Managed Health Care.
It is for a very personal reason that I find Fragile X to be so compelling. It is for the sake of my mother's struggle that I pray the masses embrace this captivating literary work for its overall precision.
I watched as my mother, in her last years of life experience the injustice and inhumanity of Managed Health Care. After receiving her last rites, my mother with her seemingly lifeless seventy-two pound frame, defied tremendous opposing odds and survived her battle with pseudomonas (a deadly bacterial disease of the lungs). From this point on in my mother's life she depended on an oxygen concentrator to breathe. After many months of red-tape, it was determined that the level of oxygen which ever-flowed through yards of clear tubing and into my mother's lungs, which was necessary for her quality of life as well as perpetuating it, did not meet administrative criteria. My mother was denied coverage. My mother was denied oxygen.
Thank you Dr. Rice

Summary: "Fragile-istic"
Comment: A Three Five-StaR-rating....ER Riveting, OR Ratcheting, doctoR Reviving, HMO Racketing, gReed Retching, health-caRe Revolting, blood Rushing, action Rousing, lawyeR Rivaling, couRtRoom Rattling, tRuth Riddling, stoRyline Raving, attention Reeling, ReadeR Reveling and finally....FRagile X syndRome Refuting! A humbling lesson for legal and medical ethics. Dr. Rice, I presume? Or perhaps, CEO Rice? Or possibly, Atty. Rice?....ah yes, the writer portrays a young woman victimized and nearly devoured by a health maintenance organization we normally trust today, yet so sinister and profound to conspire a wave of future "cleansings" targeted at the care dependent. With the support of a small troupe of various skills, this story gives the famous chronicle in the Old Testament a new angle of significance. It's not the pebble....it's the sling!

Summary: JUST ONE MORE CHAPTER HONEY
Comment: I FOUND MYSELF ENGULFED IN THIS BOOK FROM THE VERY START. THROUGH DR RICE'S DESCRIPTIVENESS, HE PUTS YOU WRITE IN THE NOVEL WITH THE OTHER CHARACTERS. HE TAKES YOU THROUGH MANY EMOTIONS TIME AND TIME AGAIN, HAPPY TO SAD, FUNNY TO MAD. THIS WAS A BOOK I DIDN'T WANT TO PUT DOWN. IT IS A MASTERPIECE . FRAGILE X WOULD MAKE A THRILLER OF A MOVIE
