ExtraLife Inc by Kfir Luzzatto Review

by Kfir Luzzatto

David Wolfson, a Jerusalem scientist, claims to have found the cure for cancer. He and his wife, Tamara, seek the help of Richard Lunz, a Tel Aviv attorney, to fight the powerful bureaucrats who want to appropriate David's invention. Richard can’t resist the temptation to participate in what looks like the discovery of the century, and it takes a first death to make him doubt that something in the project is not what it seems. And then other people die. Following clues that take him to Eastern Europe and to America, Richard finds more answers than he wished for. But he just can't stop looking.

Meet the Author:

Kfir was born and raised in Italy, and moved to Israel as a teenager. He acquired the love for the English language from his father, a former U.S. soldier and WWII veteran, a voracious reader and a prolific writer. With a PhD in chemical engineering and a long family history that he needs to live up to, Kfir work as a patent attorney and heads the patent law firm that was established by his great-grandfather in Milan, Italy, in 1869. Kfir lives in Omer, Israel, with his full-time partner, Esther, their four children, Michal, Lilach, Tamar and Yonatan, and the dog Elvis. Writing has always been Kfir's passion and for almost four years he wrote a weekly "Patents" column in Globes (Israel’s financial newspaper), which also yielded his only (if he can help it) non-fiction book, THE WORLD OF PATENTS, (a not-so-boring tale of what patents are about, in Hebrew), which was published in 2002 by Globes Press. Kfir loves writing short stories but has too many novels waiting to be written (and possibly not enough years ahead of him to write them all), so now he mostly writes full-length fiction. His other passion is working with other authors on stories he loves and that's how he wound up serving on the editorial board of The Harrow Press as Anthology Editor. You can read about Kfir's books here. He loves them all, but never had greater fun than when working on “HAVE BOOK WILL TRAVEL”, a YA fantasy that he wrote together with his son, Yonatan.

My Review:
I need to start this review by stating that this was the best ending that I have read in awhile. I had no idea how it was going to end, and the author did a fabulous job of answering all the questions and solving some issues. I was a vegetarian for years and did not use products that tested on animals. I also recently lost my dad to a massive heart attack. When I read that this book was about a cure for cancer I was immediately drawn in. Would I believe in animal testing if it could have saved my dad's life? How far would people go to cure cancer? How far would you go to get the credit for the discovery?
This was definitely a book that left me wondering my beliefs. As the bodies started piling up so did the drama. I enjoyed the medical terminology as well. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own. I also want to mention that the characters were either loved or hated. They were definitely eccentric.
