How far would you go to save the life of a family member? Obviously, Daniel Asa Rose would go the extra thousand miles. Rose was on vacation when he received the call from his cousin, Larry. We probably all have a cousin Larry. He irritates the whole family. Everything he says sounds insulting, and he’s too ignorant to realize it or just doesn’t care. However, when we get that call that he is dying and needs our help, we do everything within reason to help him. Notice I said within reason. This book got mixed reviews because of the actions of Rose and Larry.
Larry is in kidney failure. He is living off of dialysis and the list for a new kidney is long. As he lays in bed he surfs the web for a kidney. For the right price, he can purchase one from China but there is a catch. It is illegal for Westerners to purchase a kidney in China. Thus the adventure begins. Lying, sneaking and whatever else it takes, the two men head to China to buy a kidney. What ensues is hilarious. This book is laugh out loud funny until you stop and think about what they did. Is it right that money can buy organs? You’ll have to decide that for yourself.
Larry’s Kidney is a hilarious, entertaining read. I actually enjoyed it … as long as I pretended it wasn’t real. The antics of these two are funny. The book is well written, the characters are well developed and likable. Rose’s style is third person. This is not your run of the mill read. It will leave you laughing and thinking.
