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!

Welcome
I'm a columnist and blogger for Military Spouse magazine. I'm a Navy husband, a dad, and an aspiring novelist.
This is my personal blog. If it sounds too quiet around here, it's probably because I have no energy for writing because I'm engaged in that all-consuming endeavor called Parenting. I'll post when I have something to say, or when I find a stray bit of creative energy, or when Sean heads off to school.
If you have a question about being a male military spouse or about my writing, you can post it here or e-mail me.
