review 1: I'm a bit perplexed. The writing was so crisply fantastic that I kept waiting for something to happen, trusting the author completely. I was quite drawn in by the use of such acute details to outline a bigger story, but closed the last page in a bit of disbelief that all of it, seemingly, had been for nothing. I feel like I'm drifting. Maybe I just don't get it, but it weren't my cuppa tea. If the writing itself had not been so outstanding, I'd have given it a 1.5.
review 2: This is the story of Hal, who goes through life just being; he is married to Susan who he believes is having an affair with a co-worker. They have a daughter who after having an accident is a paraplegic and her parents think she is a telemarketer, but in reality is a phone sex operator. S... moreusan's boss is missing in Belize and Hal suggests that he himself travel down to there to find him. He is trying to prove that he is man enough for Susan or is he trying to add something that is missing from his life? This is a story about mid-life crisis and self-examination. It may be an interesting read for some, but too cerebral for me. less
