This review is from: Drop
Out (Kindle Edition)
Wow! My literature professors always said that a novel is
praiseworthy if it inspires in the reader strong emotions, and Neil Ostroff's
Drop Out certainly does that. I was, in turn, scared, horrified, revolted,
depressed and warmed by this graphically depicted novel of disaster, tragedy,
death and rebirth. Drop Out opens with haunting, pictorial scenes from the
World Trade Center bombing where our hero barely escapes the horrors of
inexpressible gore and death, loses all his friends and family, and is left not
only jaded and guilt-ridden but unrecognizably disfigured to resume his lonely
life. He subsequently battles a vividly and realistically portrayed hurricane
off the coast of Key West to meet a dying woman, whose innovating love and
spirit reminds him that happiness isn't only for the beautiful or carefree, and
ultimately cures his irremediable depression. In this alarming novel, I
confronted fear, revulsion, depression, loneliness, and mortality right along
with the hero.
