A non stop white knuckled roller coaster ride, definitely NOT for sissies!

It was ok.. a bit confusing because it jumps from past to present all throughout the book. At lot of medical terms and I didn't feel for the main character because he seemed a bit full of himself... but, it also felt like the author was trying to prove how smart he is. Yes, there was some foul language but, I guess that's to be expected in a book about an assassin and bad guys. I liked the narrator but, I wasn't blown away.

This is my first Josh Bazell book and all I can say is wow! Beat the Reaper is full of action about a mob hit man, Peter Brown, who is now under the witness protection program, working his M.D. residency at a less-than-desirable hospital in New York. The book easily switches back and forth from the beginning of Peters career, through some career highlights, and up to his current day at the hospital, where he runs into an old mob acquaintance, and what ensues after that. While this isnt your typical who-dun-it book, it is filled with action, gore, and a few surprises and humor thrown in along the way. However, this book is NOT for the squeamish, as graphic detail is a major ingredient.

This is an offensive book which was not finished due to the exceptional amount of BAD language.
