Bleep, a novel by Larry McCaffrey, was first released as a book by Random House, but has since been adapted into a movie by Fox, as well as a television show. In the film, Bleep is played by Michael Keaton, who plays an FBI agent that works for the Bureau. As you might expect, the novel is a great read. It takes place in the 1970s in a small town, where people speak in what can only be described as an archaic language. When I first read it, I thought that it was quite funny and very similar to The Munsters. However, as it went on I began to see why the book has been turned into a movie.
The main character, Dr. Robert Crichlow, is a scientist, but he has trouble understanding scientific concepts, because his mind is too wired to function properly. One day he gets a strange call from someone in New Jersey. It turns out that they are selling an unknown device to New York City and are willing to sell it to a doctor who has an interest in the device. When the doctor arrives in New York, he realizes the device has great potential. He is convinced that he has found the key to eternal life and is willing to give it up for a fortune, if he can have a test run on the device. When the scientist asks him about his name, he refuses to tell him, and then he makes a mistake in asking about the device again. In a scene like this, it is easy to see that Dr. Robert Crichlow is a little insane, but his story is one that you don't want to miss.
The most interesting part of the novel is the relationship between Dr. Crichlow and his wife. While we don't see much of the relationship, we do know that their relationship is not what we would consider stable. Their relationship is filled with arguments and bickering, as well as a lot of secrets. They seem to keep each other completely in the dark, and that's really sad. Unfortunately, their marriage doesn't last long, and it's a great pity, because it ends like it does.
