Critic reviews
Clevenger has produced an utterly persuasive and compelling novel, combining the zest and enthusiasm of a new voice with the craft and the guile of a veteran. The movie is in production with Das Films for release in 2011.
"Clevenger cleverly creates a modern-day Mr. Ripley." - ( Booklist)
"[A] remarkable debut." ( Time Out New York)

It's really then a question of what you're looking for. Slight spoilers, but when half of your book is a character taking, then reacting internally to a psychological evaluation, you're going to weed out a large portion of readers. But if you think that sounds interesting, then you won't see it better executed anywhere.
Came highly recommended and did not disappoint

Any additional comments?
When the first quarter of the book was about a guy trying to beat a WAY-overcooked suicide evaluation, I started to wonder if there was actually going to be a plot. I never found out because due to the author dragging out what should have been a scene into an act, I decided this wasn't for me.Not for Me
