Book #14 "Beat the Reaper" by Josh Bazell



I took a chance and bought the book by just looking and the lovely cover. I won't lie....the name caught me too. I started reading it with no idea what the plot was going to be like or anything and was a bit shocked at first with the gangster mob theme.

I stuck it out through the first chapter and found it to be quite entertaining. Throughout the book there are little easter eggs that keep your interest peaked at all times. It grabs your attention with crazy, I mean CRAZY scenes within an emergency room. Things you never would think about a doctor or nurse doing or what they think when treating you. I was shocked and grossed out with some gory parts and actually skimmed a few paragraphs that were too much to handle. Beware, and from me that is a huge caution! I would recommend this to the strong stomached that can handle the gruesome hospital scenes.

Apparently its going to be made into a film with a possiable lead of Leonardo DiCaprio. Should be and interesting movie to check out. I also recommend you checking out the "Beat the Reaper" website it has a spectacular web design.
