Beat The Reaper Reviews

"Hold on to your hats. Josh Bazell's first novel is a roller-coaster ride from the very first page, fast, furious, and - believe it or not - funny...A cross between ER and the Sopranos, this is House on speed, with a little Dexter thrown in and wisecracking dialogue to boot. It's breathtakingly accomplished for a debut. Bazell is a name to watch" * Daily Mail *
"Funny and outrageous, with a great central character and the energy and frenetic pace sustained throughout...Determinedly cynical about the US medical system and with informative footnotes" * Guardian *
"The novel speeds you like an emergency-room patient on a gurney through 300 pages of adrenalin-fuelled action, medical drama, mob dealings and stomach-turning violence" * Scotland on Sunday *
"Beat the Reaper is way cool and ice cold. A ferocious read" -- Don Winslow
"Beat the Reaper is a blast. Josh Bazell blew me away with this story that is as relentless as a bullet" -- Michael Connelly
