    This story about Jesse Freeman and his three “chosen” brothers takes me right back to growing up on the streets of Queens, NY in the early 80’s where lifelong pacts were made over a slice and a Bud tall boy, and the #1 rule to live by was to NEVER rat on your friends…

    It’s no wonder “Stand By Me” (aka “The Body” by Stephen King) and “Sleepers” by Lorenzo Carcaterra, stand as two of my favorite books ever, as both give me that same sense of nostalgia for a time long gone.

    “Jersey Death Squad” hits those same notes, with plenty of twists, risqué laughs (Mark, you’re a bad boy 😉) and an ending that you just might find surprising!!!

    Great read, looking forward to what the author does next!

    The novel read easy and entertained my six senses. The author easily brings you into the story as anyone of the characters which could have been your best friend.

    The ending was a thoughtful surprise that today's movie makers could take a lesson from.

    OSU!

    This book is a great, easy read.
    It completely transforms you back to your childhood, then slaps you back to adulthood.
    It makes you think more deeply about life, and it's really something we can all relate to.
    I love the paperback so I can read it in the yard on the beautiful sunny days we've been having in NJ.
    Don't think about it, just buy it and enjoy it!

    I really enjoyed the timeline switching paralleling the characters youth and adult stages. Also very funny and reminded me of my own growing up with a group of friends. Very fast read that was hard to put down and the ending was a surprise.
