Beat the Reaper.

In a word, this book was stupid. I get the sense that I could have written it for a long term project in 9th grade, just maybe without the fancy medical terminology and some of the violence. Since Bazell mentions in his bio that he is currently a doctor, I couldn't help but feel that I was trapped in his own mafia doctor fantasy land the entire time. Perhaps this book was a stream-of-consciousness daydream? Let's just say I'm glad the font size is big.

And word has it that Leonardo DiCaprio is set to star in the movie version. At least that part we know will be dreamy.

I second that dreamy emotion! (Oh, and also about the book being stupid.)
