Commentary Supposing Books The Wild Zone
I have been reading Joy Fielding for as long as she has been writing. This book was on rapid reads at my library and I grabbed it and this is, I guess, the only thing that has kept me reading. It has almost no plot. Just two brothers and their failing love interests and competitiveness and their inability to know who they are as men. A shallow book which....in the middle..seems to be going nowhere. A friend of one of the brothers has a gun and a sociopathic personality and a biiiiig deal is made of this. Somehow, this is supposed to make a climax happen in the book. This, this the fact that one of the brothers is having an affair with a married woman..... Did I tell you too much. Don't bother...it's not worth the read!Specify Books During The Wild Zone

Glad to be done. Reminded me a little of Wild Things the film.I was ready to give this book a horrible review. The characters were flat, sexist and I am not normally not offended by books but being inside of Toms head was a little too much for me. BUT the ending was something I didnt guess which is way I love Joy Fielding.It still wasnt her best book and I wish I didnt read it but I cant say it wasnt horrible it did keep me reading and keep me entertained.
Despite low ratings on goodreads I like the book. On the cover of slovenian edition it is said it's sexually charged thriller with a lot of unexpectecd twists. For me it was a fast, light read and only the last two chapters or so felt like I was really reading a thriller.
Read all of Joy Fielding's book - this one is her latest. 3 men in a bar make a bet to see which one of them can be the first to seduce a mysterious looking woman. They dont realize that there harmless bet will take on a life of its own, and change all of their lives. Expected some of what happened in the book, was TOTALLY surprised by the ending!

I thought I had it all figured out, but I was wrong. The ending was a complete surprise, which I guess is a good thing. It did seem a little too contrived at times and the most villainous character seemed more of a caricature of a villain than an actual one. Might give another Joy Fielding a try, though. Good writing. Good twists.
I re-read this book mostly because of all the bad reviews -- again, I kind of enjoyed it. Yes, there were a lot of unlikely circumstances and coincidentcies, but -- it's a novel. Joy can do whatever she likes. I was a bit taken back by the coincidence of the battered wife being the BBF of Kristin many years ago, but -- what difference does it make? And most got what they deserved in the end. To the one-star people -- lighten up.
