Human Bobby - Gabe Rotter


This book has an interesting concept.  It tells the story of a man who had gone from being a doctor/husband/father to being a homeless person over the course of a couple of years.  Gradually, as the story moves on, the reader begins to learn what has happened to this man who had a life with such promise and Rotter does surprise.  My quibble with this book and it's a personal taste thing was the language.  It was peppered with slang that just grated on me after a while (though ultimately necessary for the plot device).  Nonetheless, it was a compelling book that I think many people would quite enjoy. 2-Stars.
