I enjoyed reading the book very much. The story had a fast pace, that kept the reader interested. The characters were well developed and engaging. I felt the writing was reminiscent of Andre Dubus III (author of The House of Sand and Fog). I was a little disappointed in the ending, as I was anticipating a twist in the plot. Overall I enjoyed the book and would definitely recommend the book to others.

The unremarkable lives surrounding a suburban family tumble out of control as small decisions cascade into a landslide of unanticipated consequences for the characters in Stash. Readers tour the many reasons and substances often used to seek pleasure and numb pain while traversing a plot idea with promise. Despite a decent sprint toward inevitable negative outcomes, the results fail to deliver just desserts. With a stronger ending, it could have been a good read, instead of just average.

Wow! From the first page, I was hooked. What an amazing debut novel by David Klein. The book is filled with twists and turns from the beginning and doesn't disappoint. Klein is able to show how the actions of one person can have consequences for so many others. I highly recommend this book and look forward to Mr. Klein's next novel.

This novel seems to have been written in the hopes of becoming a "made for TV movie" Each chapter ends at a propitious place for commercials, each section could be part of a three or four part series. The book is filled with cliched characters, trite dialog and events. Name brand products are thrown in wherever possible-does the author get some kind of payback for each name mentioned? The certainly don't move the story along. There is also a lot of information about drug dealing and use as well as about pharmaceutical corporate marketing practices.

by James G. (Warwick, NY) Stash - The Most Innocent Decisions Often Shape Our Destinies
David Klein's novel drives home the point that bad things often happen to good people. I enjoyed reading this book. My gold standard is simple; character plus conflict equals drama, and drama is the indispensable component for good fiction. Klein's book abounds with believable characters with more than enough conflict to go around melded into a seamless plot-line that strikes at the myth of quiet, peaceful, and boring suburbia. David Klein represents a fresh new voice in the world of fiction, and I look forward to his second novel.

The premise of this one grabbed me from the start. Because it is all about the decisions people make. The initial thought is that this is a moral tale. I liked each character having a story of their own. The only reason I didn't give it 5 is because I found it predictable
