BEAT THE REAPER is a blast. Josh Bazell blew me away with this story that is as relentless as a bullet., I didn't want to like it. I mean, a doctor writing a novel is kind of obnoxious. What, you don't have enough to do already? But maybe that's me. Anyway, I didn't want to like BEAT THE REAPER, but I did; I loved it. It is completely original, an utter page-turner, bold, shocking, hilarious, complex and even educational. It's that book you wish you had with you when you were trapped in an airport for a three-hour flight delay. My only complaint is that I've already read it., It's an ingenious premise for a thriller, and Bazell pulls it off....BEAT THE REAPER only gets better, turn by turn, page by page. Savvy and savagely diverting, it's a Tarantino movie made with Scorsese looking over his shoulder., Fiction reviewers live for openers like this...[a] breakneck cross between a hospital drama, The Godfather and a Quentin Tarantino film....Moxie must be Bazell's middle name. Asking us to sympathize with a hardened doctor is tough enough. Getting us to identify with a contract killer who packed .45 automatics with silencers is a coup., Beware the risk of dependency....a hypochondriac's nightmare but a reader's dream.... Bazell has sutured together Alan Alda's Capt. Hawkeye and James Gandolfini's Tony Soprano, and so long as he keeps everything operating fast enough, it's too much fun and too much gore to take your eyes off the page., Fiction reviewers live for openers like this...[a] breakneck cross between a hospital drama,The Godfatherand a Quentin Tarantino film....Moxie must be Bazell's middle name. Asking us to sympathize with a hardened doctor is tough enough. Getting us to identify with a contract killer who packed .45 automatics with silencers is a coup., BEAT THE REAPER is terrific-fresh, original, funny, and a dynamite read. Dr. Peter Brown-aka Pietro Brnwa, aka 'the Bearclaw'-is my new favorite character., Josh Bazell is an unusually talented writer....[he] more than earned my indulgence as a reader. If there's a better recommendation for a story than that, I don't know what it is., Fast, fun, furious, fierce... or better yet, stop reading the accolades for BEAT THE REAPER, open up to page one, and start reading. See you at the cash register.

    GREAT NEW AUTHOR--VERY UNIQUE & FUN READ!

    I can hardly describe the style of this author except to say it is very different. Has me laughing and yet is about the Mafia and a horrible hospital so ? A real page turner, an overused description which still applies here...I gulped it up and will look for the author's next novel eagerly.

    Great Book!

    I bought this book after reading the cover at a book store. What's not to like about a book with a former hitman who joins the witness protection program and becomes a doctor. There is a lot of graphic violence but the story keeps you humming along - I couldn't put it down. This is the author's first book I think and I'm keeping an eye for his next. Enjoy!

    Very entertaining crime/thriller!

    This book was a very easy read but kept me captivated the whole time. Great comedy implanted along the trail of the main character's life. Some twists and turns but overall very entertaining read for anyone interested in crime/suspense/comedic/even medicine-related fiction!

    Violence and Mafia

    I was very disappointed in this book. I thought it was supposed to be funny. Sure, there was some black humor but mostly it was drugs, violence, poor medical care, more drugs, and the Mafia. There was a confusing story line but it was not worth reading all the way through unless you are into this stuff. I love to read different authors but I will not look for more of Bazell's books.

    Incredidibly entertaining and a must read book!!

    I was so impressed with the author's references to information throughout the book - such a great idea! It was a wonderfully fun book to read and I honestly hated it when it ended!!! Can't wait for his second book!
