On the Today show yesterday, Al Roker declared his love for Josh Bazell’s new book, Wild Thing, (Hachette/Little,Brown/Reagan Arthur; Hachette Audio), the sequel to his debut, the darkly comic Beat the Reaper.

Someone on the show may have handed Roker the book; Josh’s father, Bob Bazell is Today‘s chief medical correspondent.

HBO has optioned Beat the Reaper for a series, with Leonardo DeCaprio as executive producer.
