review 1: I really wanted to like this book. The cover and the first chapter sold me on it, so I bought it. However, once the story ends up in corporate training territory, I was no longer interested in it. How did a story that began with likeable characters on a life changing trip to begin new lives at an organic farm in Oregon end up this way? I didn't like either one by the time it was over, and I could care less about anyone else involved. While I have a serious love of my new hometown of Portland, the references to the city were overplayed and felt stuck in the story for no good reason. Sorry, but like I said, I really wanted to like this book.
review 2: A quick read, but disappointingly the description on the back of the book was much more interesting than the book... more itself. The main character leaves LA and his accounting job to appease his girlfriend, who we learn throughout the book is a flaky worrier who is self-indulgent and seems to care about no one but herself. When Damon spends half the novel pining for her I found it difficult to understand why, other than she must be incredibly good in bed. less
