You Only Live Once
You Only Live Once | Haris Orkin
4 posts | 3 read
From zero to hero... James Flynn is an expert shot, a black belt in karate, fluent in four languages and irresistible to women. He's also a heavily medicated patient in a Los Angeles psychiatric hospital. Flynn believes his locked ward is the headquarters of Her Majesty's Secret Service and that he is a secret agent with a license to kill. When the hospital is acquired by a new HMO, Flynn is convinced that the Secret Service has been infiltrated by the enemy. He escapes to save the day, and in the process, Flynn kidnaps a young Hispanic orderly named Sancho. This crazy day trip turns into a very real adventure when Flynn is mistaken for an actual secret agent. Paranoid delusions have suddenly become reality, and now it's up to a mental patient and a terrified orderly to bring down an insecure, evil genius bent on world domination.

Mehso-so

The book follows James Flynn, a man who is a long-term patient at a mental health facility who believes he is a Bond-like spy. For me, the premise grows stale pretty quickly. The book has great reviews overall, which made me think this book was going to have more depth or at least be more unique than just following the shenanigans of an escaped psychiatric patient and his two friends. To me it was mostly forgettable with a few cute moments.

James Flynn, 00 spy with Her Majesty‘s Secret Service, ladies man, snappy dresser—out to save the world. Oh, and I forgot to mention, a patient in a psychiatric hospital. Great book! Funny, suspenseful, a fast paced adventure.
