A Surprise Gem
I purchased The Exit Man by Greg Levin on the recommendation of a fellow author. I was not asked to review it, but following what turned out to be a surprisingly delightful and non-stop read, I couldn’t resist the urge to comment.
I loved Exit Man, and was frankly surprised by how effortlessly it managed to not only absorb my attention, but convey a sense of humor given the subject matter. Even repeated use of the conjunctive ‘that’, a sentence construction I reflexively abhor, did not distract from the delightfully crisp wit and humor of the narrative. Greg Levin’s otherwise deft wrangling of the language lifted the subject matter from macabre to entertaining, from WTF to LOL, from “you’ve got to be kidding” to sticking around for the ride.
And what a wonderful ride it was. Full of irreverent humor, sarcastic wit, and a mind boggling affinity for a character whose empathetic and sympathetic nature is so convincingly drawn, it nullifies any preconceived antipathy to his unorthodox calling. A few sudden twists later the ride turns into a cyclone roller coaster the reader never sees coming, but is nevertheless able to enjoy with frightful glee.
Thank you Greg Levin, for a thoroughly engrossing and exciting ride.
