review 1: I liked the minor threads of themes that were shared by the main characters (ex: food, music and sex). I appreciated the different characters' perspectives. There was a serious lack of plot until almost 80% into the book. I kept looking for something to happen. The characters were so wrapped up in their own crap they were very unlikeable. I got the impression the ending was supposed to be very shocking, but I felt really blasé about it. The cagey way it developed didn't appeal to me either. Eh, I would skip this one.
review 2: I thought this book was alright, and a different type of story trying to blend fiction with the historical events at the time. However, I felt the book was a little draggy, too wordy and not enough action. But that's just my opinion, ... moreI also found the twist at the end a little far-fetched. I don't want to spoil it for someone looking to read it so I won't say any more. It was an alright read, not the best. less
