REVIEWS of A MIDLIFE INTERMEZZO
**** Four stars (out of five)
Fans of schadenfreude will devour this compelling story of a midlife crisis that deteriorates into obsession. Boas Gonen offers a drama of the human soul in A Midlife Intermezzo, the compelling story of one man's midlife crisis gone awry... The first-person perspective, which can be tricky, is well crafted. The voice is candid and honest. It provides suspense just when the story needs it: 'It was time to quit ...while my sanity was intact, although I wondered whether it wasn't too late for that.' The characters are fully dimensional and fallible ... This is a tale of one man's struggles, providing enough interest to inspire pressing on through all four hundred pages...
...Gonen's writing flows competently, including scenesetting, dialogue and point of view (some sections are in Svetlana's voice); he uses Vip's medical background to good effect, and his discussions of opera are well-informed ...
