"Streamlined and engaging." --Chicago Tribune
"Compelling, memorable...one of the best reads I've had in years."
--Harry Crews, author of Body, Scar Lover and A Feast of Snakes

"This book is one of those 'can't put it down' reads." --Library Journal
From AudioFile
In this edgy suspense story, Denton Hake is a paroled rapist whose firm belief that he's innocent comes from the fact that he has no recollection of ever having committed the crime. Fee Waybill (ex-lead singer for The Tubes) gives Denton's character a quirky, boyish flair that endears him to listeners. Although Denton's blackouts continue after he moves in with his brother and sister-in-law, Waybill's genuine portrayal sets the stage for a suspenseful ride through Denton's new life of freedom. Waybill's spirited reading quality gives listeners the hope that Denton is truly innocent. Baum's experience as a screenwriter is apparent in Out of Body; it sounds like a cinematic action thriller from start to finish. R.A.P. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
