We shouldhate him, but his twisted sense ofhumor and smart, snide remarksmake us laugh out loud at hisruthless pursuit of sex, power andmoney. Did the death of someoneclose to him really make him thiscold? Is there a girl out there whocan win him over?" Maura Muller(NYPL)

"A heavy book but one of the bestI've read this year and deals with allthree topics." Claire Hester


"A wild book where the premise isthere are among us people who areborn, live, die and then are reborninto the same life they just livedwith all the memories of theirprevious lives. The book opens witha bang: The world is ending soonerthan it should, and it's up to thetitled protagonist to find out why. Ithink it meets all the criteria... itopens with sex, the character diesat least 15 times and money... well,it's what makes their world goaround." Andy Sauer
