Kill Me [With Earbuds] Book

4.5* Kill Me is a very distinct and unusual book which starts slowly but soon hooks you in by creating a perfectly brilliant dialogue by the main character talking to a car salesman; this alone is well worth the read. Although the author doesn't give a name to the main character he becomes a patient to psychologist Dr. Alan Gregory. The "patient" genuinely doesn't want to die, but he is determined to never be left in a vegetative state should an accident or health issue occur. He embarks on this task by asking friends to kill him if he becomes incapacitated and unable to do it himself. Before long a mate suggests he should get in touch with an off the radar group who will, without hesitation, kill him for a substantial fee. Since the "patient" is extremely wealthy this has great appeal, and consequently he makes contact with the secret organization called the Death Angels. Kill Me is an extraordinary unique novel and was quite the ride.

I have loved the whole series of Stephen White's Alan Gregory books. This book was meant to be a "stand alone" book with Alan Gregory as a minor character in the book. For me, when I read a book and I continue to think about it after I am done- that is an amazing book. Well, I read this book when it came out in 2007 and I still think about it. This is a book I would recommend to anyone - it is definitely one of the best books I have ever read. Now what was interesting to me was that many of Stephen White's fans were angry about this book. He writes one book at a time and it takes any where from a year to 18 months until the next book comes out. So, those who were Alan Gregory fans weren't too happy about the wait of nearly 3 yrs for him to be the star again. I am so glad that I wasn't so invested in the series that it clouded my opinion. Stephen White is winding down this series after the 20th book. Personally, I cannot wait to see what else he writes about because I think there is so much more to him than Alan Gregory. And I love this series. He is the only author that I have followed faithfully from start to hopefully finish. I would love to hear from others who have read this book and hear what they thought.
