52. Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell This was a fun read. The main character is very rough around the edges and quite a bit cynical. Mix in some "House like" medical drama and some mafia action and you have this book.

Hey BJ - thanks for reading my postings! Beat the Reaper is not going to win any awards or anything, but it was fun while it lasted. Not sure what your reading likes/dislikes are, but be forewarned that the language and content can be a bit crude at times... it that kind of thing doesn't bother ...

11. Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell This fast paced novel describes the trials and tribulations of a mobster who goes doctor after a trip through the witness protection program. A fantastic, fun read. (Review)

I just finished Trainspotting which was an enjoyable and challenging read. I started Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell and I am loving it so far. This as an extremely fast paced book and I anticipate wrapping it up in the next day or two. Finally, I am working my way through the Wheel ...

I started Beat the Reaper yesterday and read it straight through. The footnotes were distracting, but interesting. I'm not sure which disgustingly gruesome part we aren't supposed to discuss, since I thought there were so many! Even more gruesome than Martin Cruz Smith's books. I'm looking ...

I just finished Beat the Reaper too. It was a bit rough and strangely constructed (medical info and footnotes in a crime novel?) but in spite of all the quirks I did enjoy reading it. I am hoping that is not a comment on me. Will be interested in hearing what you all have to say. I actually ...

Hmmm. Beat the Reaper's on my list. Perhaps I'll bump it down in priority.

maggie Others have said the same. Thus, I'm staying away from Beat the Reaper

I finished Beat the Reaper yesterday and I do not recommend it. For me it was too violent, gory, and gratuitous. I think the author was trying to be funny and maybe there are some readers who would enjoy this book but I don't think I know any one who would. But I'll try to hold my opinion in ...

I finished Beat the Reaper yesterday. And I recommend it only to people who have a tendency towards a weird or perverse sense of humor; too much blood, death, dying, ugly urban reality junk woven between medical information and typical mafia stereotypes.

I just finished reading Beat the Reaper and I think perhaps the book should come with a warning (credit to CarolO for this idea) that it contains quite a bit of violence and potentially stomach turning descriptions. If this might be a problem for some of us perhaps we could agree before our ...

I'm curious, why is Beat the Reaper "not for the faint of heart though"

Bought Beat the Reaper last night at book club meeting. The store where we hold our meetings gives us 10% off if we tell them what books we are reading when. We are officially a group! We called ourselves the Thingers and the bookstore staff looked at me as if I was nuts. I am...nuts about ...

I brought home Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell last night for a book discussion next month.

And another couple: 13. Beat The Reaper by Josh Bazell This was a read and a half! I was asked by Josh's publicist to review this and I could hardly put it down. Not for the faint of heart though - it is really graphic. 14. La Symphonie Pastorale by Andre Gide Two novellas in ...

I'm OK with sticking with Beat the Reaper but if everyone else wants to skip it then that is OK too. The reviews on LT seem pretty good, some people felt the bad language was a little over the top but they still seemed to overall like the book. I did not read every review because I don't want ...

It was entertaining but I could have done without the vulgarity and bad language especially at the beginning. The basic story is that of Peter Brow ...

Received Beat the Reaper yesterday, it was dropped at the door. Still waiting on others from SA, starting to wonder about mail-lady as well. Also, got my LT Arc Summer Blowout.

Today I got Guernica and Beat the Reaper, one in the mail & one at my door. A good book day:)

Received Beat the Reaper in IN.

Got Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell via UPS today. Another incredibly ugly cover. It's not the cover shown on LT (which is perhaps not quite as hideous, but still unappealing). The plot sounds intriguing, but based on cover art, I'd never pick this up.
