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 mans midlife crisis gone awry The first-person perspective, which can be tricky, is well crafted.

The characters are fully dimensional and fallible This is a tale of one mans struggles, providing enough interest to inspire pressing on through all four hundred pages
