Book Review of Severance Package

Severance Package
2headedboy avatar reviewed One of the best books I read in 2008 on + 27 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 4


This book in no way resembles a typical novel. Instead, its staccato prose and constant action from ironic characters make it read like a movie script, a good one.

Severance package is not for the squeamish. There's a significant body count by book's end. But some of these characters, you REALLY wanted them to die.

(Yes, I'm often inured to violence - even the sick, twisted and gory violence in this book -- because of a cable tv childhood.)

It's simply a fantastic story by one of my new favorite writers.
