John Locke's The Adventures Of Dr. Gideon Box

Full of snark and vinegar, Dr. Gideon Box is a sort of avenging angel--or devil. Cross him and you'll end up on his list. Just hope you don't end up in his hospital! I purchased this book on the recommendation of a friend in spite of the raunchy cover, and am I ever glad I did. Locke writes very conversationally--Dr. Box could be a guy you meet in bar, or maybe in anger management class. The characters are realistically developed, and the action never slows down. The language can get a bit salty, but that is true to the character of Dr. Box. This book makes me want to check out Locke's other books. This one is a quick and easy read, and hard to put down. A great book to escape into as long as you don't have a doctor's appointment soon!
