The concept of this book is funny, but it just didn't gel for me.
Avishay, a brilliant Economist, dies suddenly. His 4 friends decide to keep his death a secret, in hopes that he will be named the Nobel prize winner, which can't be awarded posthumously. The announcement is only 8 days away, so the friends come up with a plan to keep Avishay's body on ice. However, things don't go according to plan, and each of the friends has a motive for wanting to keep him alive and be named a Nobel Laureate. Some of it is humorous, but I thought the book was just OK.

Got to P134
Well written; could not get excited to read it. Wasn’t invested enough to want to find out what happens.
