 Top 5 Book, 2008-08-14
I read 2-3 books a week and very rarely recommend books to friends. This one i recommend over and over and over. Because i read so much, many books get 'lost' and i have a hard time remembering them. Not this one.
I won't rehash the story as it's been done previously, but trust me, it's an incredible ride. This is one that will stay with you long after you've read it.

Breath-taking Thriller, 2008-08-04
This is the first book I've read by Stephen White, but I have since gone out to my local used bookstore and purchased 7 others. I was bowled over by this novel. It easily ranks in the top 5 most enjoyable books I have read to date.
A wealthy man, who is never named, hires a group that he refers to as the Death Angels to end his life as painlessly as possible, while making it look like an accident, should he develop a catastropic illness or suffer from a life altering mishap. He meets with a liason from the group, sets the parameters he wishes the group to follow, then goes on about his life until one fateful day when fate rears it's ugly head. As you can predict, our Mr. No-name's health takes a nasty turn and reaches that threshold but for some reason he decides that he is not ready to check out until he accomplishes a few tasks and ties up some loose ends. The race is on, who will win?
I was sucked into the story at the first chapter and raced through the book like a dehydrated person scoping out a body of water. This book was easy to read. The story flowed so fluently, it was like watching a movie unfold before your eyes. The characters were interesting and played their parts well. The story never bogged down or got hung up. I was sad when I got to the last page, breathless, but sad. I didn't want the story to end. Give this one a try, you won't regret it.

"You can run, but you can't hide", 2008-04-25
Whoa! this was a powerful novel. Not only is it very well-written and with great intelligence, but the concept is so unique I was captured from page one. The dialogue is crisp and innovative and I was very impressed with Mr. White's use of the English language. I almost wanted to take notes about the wittiest lines but it would have taken me away from the fast-forwarding suspense. Intensity, yes! Do I want to read other books by Stephen White, indeed. Do I recommend this book? yes. Read it, I don't think you will be disappointed. You might not relish the idea of "Death Angels" and skeptical as I was that such an organization could actually exist, but, the truth is out there, isn't it?

 Hard to root for the hero in this one..., 2008-03-29
It is hard to root for the hero in this book. As the book progresses, you begin to feel less and less sympathetic to the main character. I thought it was a good read up to the last 50 pages because I so badly wanted to have the "hero" learn some sort of lesson on life. Instead, I thought it fizzled within the last 50 pages, and became predictable at that point. Entertaining, but not fulfilling.
