review 1: In Case We Die is an emotional tour de force. Admittedly, I went into it with the preconceived notion of desperate, drug-addled souls resigned to the inevitable (and there certainly is that), but I was not at all prepared for the overarching themes of realism, genuine love, and excruciating loss. The love story between Charlie and Carrie has all the depth of feeling of Abelard & Heloise, Romeo & Juliet, Heathcliff & Cathy...with happily ever after being cruelly denied, in this case, because of drugs and mental illness. This wonderfully complex novel, an incredible maiden voyage from this author, evokes every emotion of the human condition. I was spent after experiencing it. In the end, the book reads like a love letter to all that might have been - signed, sadly, with one ... morex instead of two. I highly recommend this book.
review 2: This book is like candy with sand on it; a little gritty and and easy to read. Danny's prose is clear, lucid and concise.He accurately nails the small details of the everyday life that most people gloss over for fear of anything too real. He shines a light on the beauty of that illusive thing we call the Human Condition. You have to grab it all,the good the bad and the ugly to live this glorious life to the fullest. Thanks Danny. less
