review 1: I blew through this book in two nights. It's an easy read. Sometimes I liked the main character Ben and sometimes I didn't. He hit me as a pretty frozen emotionally from his own past that was not dealt with and it appears as it usually would in his life today. He seems to live in the realm of what he should do, what he thinks is expected of him....he certainly isn't living an authentique life....he and his wife are a mismatch and she manipulates her life to fit an everything is great....I don't know how long you can pretend to love, falling for someone else does little else but muddy the waters of a marriage never mind your personal life. I would probably pick up another book from this author.....
review 2: My first didn't finish of the year. I think I got to ... morepage 50 and knew this book was going to be depressing until some sort of uplifting end or depressing and then more depressing. The main character, all I know is his last name which is Bailey, is living with his fiancee. He proposed to her two years ago and has since regretted the decision and instead of ending the relationship he is seeing how far he can go before she snaps. He lies to her about ridiculous things like where he went for lunch. So one morning he wakes up to find that it snowed the night before. He loves snow so he's happy. He decides to take a chance that the paper arrived early and goes to the sidewalk where he finds a young Native American badly beaten and underdressed for the cold. He recognizes the boy as a regular in the bar where he bartends. The boy is there to find people to play pool with and he only drinks cokes. The police write his death off as another drunk Indian. Bailey decides to go to his funeral and he meets the boy's sister. This is about where I stopped reading. I'm pretty sure Bailey is going to get involved with the sister. The boy's death isn't the only death in the book so far. Bailey's sister was hit by a car when they were walking home from school together. I don't need to read this kind of thing. The writing is good - the story is told smoothly with a light hand. The descriptions are just enough so you get a sense of what is going on. But the story is heading towards downerville and the main character is a passive aggressive putz. less
