Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell

2.0

This was a book club pick or I would have so put it down. This is a guy's book, in fact, it's an adolescent guy's book only it's not appropriate for an adolescent (in my mind). I did like the medical commentary/angle and I must say upfront that this guy can write, he did make me turn the page. I'd like to read something else he writes. I just hated the story and the character. I kept saying (to myself and occasionally to my husband who was reading next to me), "No way!" It was like some guy-fantasy come to life. All I'll say is - "oral sex in a shark tank" and maybe that will make you get the idea (and maybe, if you're a guy, now you'll want to read it.). I'm certain better things will come from this writer.
