"the medication may have lifted the depression, but instead of allowing me to connect with the world it has surrounded me in another kind of fog. Most of the time, I am simply numb. Everything feels flat, as if I'm living in some uninflected world without substance, depth, or meaning...It's as though a valve inside of me has been turned almost shut, reducing my emotions to a slow trickle, where they once burst forth in a powerful flood." (85). ________________________________________________________________ "The Prozac had simply stopped working..."As fast as Prozac had once, like a sexy firefighter, doused the flames of pain, the flames now flared up, angrier than ever, and my potent pill could do nothng to quell the conflagration." (92). _________________________________________________________________ "The symptoms used to assess depression include decreased energy, poor performance, and changes in sleep, appetite, and activity level. The emphasis is on physical, behavioural symptos rather than emotional states. These checklists take what are essentially psychological conditions and define them as though they were merely physical symptoms rather than viewing the physical symptoms as merely manifestations of a psychological state. In the process, the forest is lost for the trees. Any attempt to help patients understand themselves and to effect real change is lost in the rush to diagnose and medicate them"(194). __________________________________________________________________ Finally, these drugs can have a mood-brightening effect. They make some people feel less irritable, better able to tolerate the bumps and scrapes of life, more tolerant, even "complacent." In light of the hype surrounding the drugs, many patients are surprised to find that they are not really "happy pills" -- few people feel that their mood is constantly buoyed by them. When patients on these drugs do feel sad, however, they are less vulnerable to suden or dramatically plummeting moods. It is as though the drug puts a floor under them, holding them up, limiting how far their mood can slide. (pg. 213) __________________________________________________________________ "when you can't express feelings, you eventually lose touch with them. You don't even know you have them. But human emotions don't just go away. Forced underground, they follow twisted, circuitous paths and pop bac up again as psychological symptoms" (267). ___________________________________________________________________ "Reflecting on his life, Dan thought the constant upheavals and threats as a child had left him with a profound sense of instability and unreliability."

David Owen's How The Dead See is the sixth book in the Detective Franz Heineken, aka Pufferfish series. They are not just well-written Australian fiction, but uniquely Tasmanian crime fiction in their nature. Now that I am Tasmanian (albeit only a relative newcomer), I thoroughly appreciate the descriptions of the scenery and landscape of the 'small island'. That is not to say that this book and the series as a whole, does not have wider appeal. The descriptions and Tasmanian parochialism are wrapped around two intriguing crime fiction plotlines. The theft of a valuable diamond necklace, seemingly by a former safe-cracking nemesis, and the death by apparent suicide of an Errol Flynn-like aging film star. Detective Franz Heineken, aka Pufferfish, from the Tasmanian Police Force weighs in and takes the reader on a literary police procedural journey to resolution. And all is not as it seems, particularly for an aging movie star that has gone from success to excess. I am so happy to have discovered the David Owen, Pufferfish series of books. I enjoy the humour and introspective views by Pufferfish on police work, criminals and life in general. As a character he has some layers that only the reader is privy to. Having read the last two in the series published in 2010 & 2011, I am now trying to source the original four books published in the mid to late 90's. Whether a non-Tasmanian would have the same level of entertainment is something I can't answer and I will watch future reviews with interest. Nevertheless, being an easy-to-read 230ish pages, if you enjoy police procedural novels, particularly Australian ones with an intriguing and amusing cast of characters, then I recommend that you will enjoy this book - as I did!
