" I have always enjoyed Stephen White's books about clinical psychologist, Alan Gregory, and this book is my favorite of them all. Dr. Gregory only plays a tiny role in this book. We get to see him practicing his therapy from the patient's perspective--the main character, a rich, thrill-seeking, happy family man. On one high-adventure skiing trip he almost ends up as a parapalegic, which makes him begin to wonder at what point would life not be worth living? He is approached by a highly expensive and highly secret group that offers "death" insurance, or your right to end your life when you want. According to your parameters, they will contract to kill you when you think life is not worth living. And so begins a fast-paced and highly thought-provoking story. The storyline is well-crafted and complicated, flashing back and forth in time. The action almost never slows down. THe characters are real and complicated and intriguing. I really, really enjoyed the story. "
