review 1: Andrew Armacost's "The Poor Man's Guide to Suicide" is not a book that glorifies Suicide in any sense of the word. So, haters, cool your heels. I have to say from the word go, it's easily one of the best books I've ever read. It's funny, witty, dark, a little spooky at times. It's a straight-froward fiction tale that is written so well, it rings of total truth. It's the kind of circumstances many can relate to. Wesley is a guy who life has kicked in the nuts for lack of a better term.He's a prison guard, which is not the best place in the world for a guy down in the dumps to be working. No matter which way he turns he cannot catch a break, barely making ends meet, twice divorced, two kids, working virtually just to pay child support. It never ends for poor Wes, add a crapp... morey car and a dingy apartment and he has all the makings of a guy who is either going to go postal, or rid himself of his own existence. I don't give away spoilers, so you will have to find out if he does the deed or not on your own. But I was hooked from page one, found myself laughing and sympathizing with Wesley the entire time. Andrew Armacost is a brilliant honest writer and I look forward to more books from this very talented author! 5 Stars!
review 2: This is a very, very good book. Admittedly, this is not going to be everyone's cup of tea. I admire the author for taking on controversial subject matter and clearly not blinking. I could have gone for another 100 pages of it. Written in first person, character Wes Weimer seems credible, hopeless and credibly hopeless. ***SPOILER*** but he turns it around. The ride isn't always inspirational, but it does what a good fiction book is supposed to do; it pulls you in and engrosses you so completely that it's hard to put down. A winner. less
