The Life and Times of a Navy Husband

Beat the Reaper: A Novel by Josh Bazell

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
I knew I would enjoy this book from page 1. It’s fast-moving, muscular, and funny. I won’t get into summary, here, beyond the fact that it’s about a doctor with an unusual past and skillset in a crappy hospital in New York, and the things that happen to him over the course of one day, and the ways he deals with them, will have you grinning with glee.



If you’re a fan of thrillers, read it. Even if, like me, you usually can’t stand thrillers because of crappy writing. This writing isn’t crappy. It’s the best kind of writing for a thriller: it stays out of the way of the story.



Now: READ IT!
