Book Reviews of Beat the Reaper: A Novel
Book Review: "Critical Care: A Novel" meets "Darkly Dreaming Dexter"
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this up on a whim at "Borders" (sorry, Amazon), read a few pages, and was hooked. I mean, a pigeon squaring off against a rat as prelude to an unsuccessful mugging?!?!!! Who thinks of this stuff?
Anyway, the book itself is full of all sorts of medical, movie, WWII, mafia, and martial arts trivia. It really does read as my title describes. I really can't say more without betraying the plot. Just buy the book, enjoy it, and hold onto it. If the guy's next book is anything like this, you'll have a collectible.
Oh, and did anyone catch the "Firesign Theater" reference?
