    This Book is an Unexpected Gem
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 6, 2012*

Daniel Friedman's first book, Don't Ever Get Old, is an unexpected gem. Buck Schatz is an 87 year-old Jewish long-retired police detective who gets involved with some criminal activity. He had a long decorated career with the Memphis Police Department, although he was a tough no-nonsense detective, who still holds the record for killing the most suspects as an officer in Memphis. Buck does not regret any of those killings because each of them was necessary. He is extremely opinionated and outspoken about things and people he likes or dislikes. That trait adds many interesting and amusing segments in the book. Buck is devoted to his wife and grandson, although his outspoken personality also manifests in those relationships. During World War II, Buck served his country and endured a torturous incarceration in a Nazi prison camp.  Now he discovers that his torturer from that Nazi prison camp had escaped Germany with gold ingots and has been living in the US. With help from his grandson, Buck attempts to locate this fiend. However, his attempts seem to precipitate merciless and gruesome murders and beatings. This story is remarkable in many ways. Although Buck is a colorful tough no-nonsense ex-cop, his age is not ignored. He struggles to cope with his deteriorating body and mental condition, and the inevitability of his future demise. However, when he and his grandson become murder suspects he desperately struggles to solve the crimes that are somehow connected to his Nazi nemesis. He and his grandson are also targeted for murder and their survival is very doubtful. However, Buck always remembered some advice he had personally heard from President Dwight D. Eisenhower during the war - always hang on to your gun when all else is lost. He keeps his .357 magnum within reach as much as possible, and he is someone who perseveres until the end. I liked this book very much.

    Good Debut Effort  - Missed Opportunity
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 8, 2012*

Enjoyable light reading from Daniel Friedman's debut novel.  Flow and plot are steady with an unexpected twist at the close.  The unique "Something I don't want to forget" which closed some of the chapters added a bit of rich texture to the stories' thread.  Was disappointed in the flatness/personality predictability of the protagonist "Buck."I believe Friedman's decision to use "first person" from Buck's perspective was a major flaw in the narrative.  This led to my greatest disappointment with the book.  Being Jewish and from Memphs,  I was hoping for an expanded view of the typical Southern Jewish community and how it molded people like Buck.  Friedman missed the opportunity to develop personalities like Willie Gerber, the Jewish attorney that was one of the powers behind Boss Crump.  Also, the atmosphere of "The Pinch" - the area that shaped the personalities of the Jewish old timers in that community.  And to relate stories about folks  like the famous welterweight boxer, Eddie "Kid" Wolfe", who fought Tony Cansoneri, the middleweight champion;  and Rabbi Fruchter and his wife, Janet, who befriended the young Elvis Presley.  Friedman also was deficient in developing Memphis, Beale Street, Memphis music, and the close relationship between the Memphis African American community and Memphis Jewish community.On the very positive side, the book was funny and fun to read.  Look forward to his next effort.

I just want to know: WHY HASN’T THIS BOOK BEEN MADE INTO A MOVIE DIRECTED BY & STARRING CLINT EASTWOOD??!!!Loved the protagonist & his grandson. Deducted one star because the murders were gratuitously & unbelievably gruesome.
