I thought the main characters were self-absorbed and made some poor decisions. The first half of the book was slow, full of unnecessary details, and I had to force myself to keep reading it (never a good thing). The last third of the book was much more intriguing, I was anxious to find out what would happen next.

by Amellia H. (Omaha, Nebraska) Interesting choice of storylines...
I was captured by the storylines in this book from the minute I read about it. The idea of a woman involved in an accident after smoking pot, and a husband who is trying to rationalize the use of a drug for other purposes. I must admit as the story juggled the storylines, I felt myself speed reading through the husband's ordeal with the drug company. I did not feel this part of the story was as compelling as the wife's story. As I read I was looking for a turning point or a "oh my gosh" moment in the book which didn't happen. This left me slightly disappointed, however the overall story was enjoyable - just not exactly what I was expecting.

Stash is like going on a trip from the past. The different perspectives written by the author makes the book quite interesting. We flower children from the 70's can definitely relate to the material in this book. I would recommend it to anyone, but we would especially enjoy it.

I liked this book a lot, I really enjoyed reading it. The characters were believable and relatable. Even though Gwen made a bad choice to smoke pot and drive her car, resulting in the death of an elderly man, you feel that she was really a good person. She just wanted to do the best she could for her children and husband, as a result she felt unimportant and invisible. We have become a pharmaceutical society that can justify medicating ourselves for the smallest of reasons. The author ties in her misuse of a substance with the corporate coverup of the dangerous side effects of a prescription drug. People are always willing to overlook the danger in order to benefit from the results.

I'm sure there is a great story inside of David Klein (the author); however, this book moved along ever so slowly and then, BAM! it was over. The ride to the end was all over the place. The dual story lines did not work well in this particular book and neither story was consistent. I would hesitate to read another book by this author.

by Eileen L. (Danvers, MA) Started off great but lost a little steam
I loved this book right up until the end, when the author seemed intent on wrapping it all up with a bow. The premise of the book is age old-a split second decision, how that decision can go so awry so quickly, the fear of being judged, the justifications we all try to comfort ourselves with-great stuff. Although the characters were not fully developed I still found them interesting and for awhile there I was hooked. Then the book just kind of ran out of steam and I felt a little let down. I would characterize it as a good beach read for the summer!
