Heart Seizure
By Bill Fitzhugh

     Heart Seizure introduces the reader to a host of heartfelt "criminals" and harsh politicians all fighting for one thing: a heart. This book asks the question: "Exactly how far would you go for family or governmental officials?" It introduces Spence who is only trying to look out for his aging mother who desperately needs a heart transplant. Spence goes through many tribulations to help his mother. He incorporates the help of several people, including his goody-two-shoes brother.

     The story line is fun and lighthearted. It seems a little ridiculous at times, but that adds to the satirical nature of the book. It makes the reader wonder what would happen if governmental agencies would go as far as the officials did in this book. It makes the reader question what they would do if they were in Spence's position. The character development of Spence helps the reader feel connected to Spence and want him to break through any obstacle that stands in his way. It has the reader pull for Spence and hate the government more than they already did, if they did at all.

     It is a fun read that provokes several questions in the reader's mind.
