review 1: Why would David Fincher bother optioning this book to make into a movie? It saddens me that writers like this can get publishing contracts. It reads like something I remember from a creative writing workshop in college. Every character is a type instead of a fleshed out creation. You have the menopausal wife, the ignorant husband, the vapid teenage daughter, and the smooth criminal. It reads like a treatment for a movie by someone who has no real depth to their writing. This novel makes popular fiction look bad. What could have been an interesting story is bogged down by unlikeable characters and terrible exposition.
review 2: This is my second Jason Starr book. The first one was Hard Feelings. Both are dark storys with violent, non-happy endings. Things
... more go from bad to worse in his books, and, in this one, the bad guy is really bad. You see him conning everryone in a cringe-worthy manner. The story is a train-wreck that can't be stopped. I like his page-turning writing style. It's not for evertone, but I'd read more by him. less
