review 1: 2012 has begun on a very low reading note. This "thriller" is very slow paced and I could not get terribly invested in the characters. I made it about 250 pages in before deciding to flip to the end, therefore giving me enough vested interest to write this review. (I have many books that I start that I do not even write a review of). Gwen is a suburban mother married to Brian, who is a pharm. tech who is doing a trial of a drug that will make people lose weight. Gwen loves pot as well. She gets it from her dealer, Jude, who is an old flame. Then she smokes up and drives her car, striking and killing an old man with dementia. From there, the story doesn't really go anywhere for a long time. There are a lot of characters who are attempted to be built up. However, I did... moren't like any of them, and felt that they all were very selfish and not likeable.
review 2: I was hoping for something similar to Tom Perotta. Nope! The first quarter was a little slow and I could have done without the last chapter. There was a bit of suspense near the end but nothing spectacular. I felt there were too many unneccesary storylines. I was hoping for a more in depth controversy but instead got more of a slow paced thriller. A lot of people described this as a page turner. I disagree. less

I gave up on this one. It just wasn't entertaining enough to keep my interest.
