`The Dutch Institute` tells the story of protagonist Maarten Keyser`s battles against the corrupt healthcare facilities in the Netherlands. It is a thought-provoking, intelligent story that manages a healthy dose of adventure and intrigue while at the same time exploring big themes like love, loyalty, nobility, and perseverance.
The novel flows very well and is engaging from the start as we meet our hero as he sits at home alone, risking his life on an experimental treatment. From there we are immediately pushed into a high-octane adventure in which his family and friends do everything within their power to make the giant enemy that is the state change their policies to save Maarten`s life. The story deftly goes into exciting pulpy territory without ever sacrificing its higher mission and message.
Overall, `The Dutch Institute` is a very effective book. Any and all changes in the treatment have been made in order to take advantage of the tools and techniques unique to cinema as well as to lend clarity to the overall story goals while keeping the pace fast and the tension high. The end result is a story that adheres to the rigid requirements of a film narrative while retaining the theme, plotting, and intent of the source material.` The Dutch Institute
