Books I Want to Read: Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell

Josh Bazell's Beat the Reaper was recently reviewed by USA TODAY. And I'm left intrigued.

If you don't like extreme gun violence, blow-by-blow descriptions of surgical procedures performed by doped-up, angry doctors, the lack of care administered by bitter nurses, misdiagnoses and a huge dose of vulgarity, this novel is not for you.

I'm not normally one for gore, but I can take written gore much easier than visual gore.
