I guess I'm in the minority for this book, but I thought it moved like molasses.  According to my Kindle I was 40% into the book when I finally had to give up.  Very little happened up to that point and maybe it would have gotten better, but to me a book should not take that long to get moving.There is a scene on the lake around 30% that is the first real encounter with whatever is in the lake.  I can only assume it was intended to be suspenseful and exciting, but it's not even close.  It was a completely ho-hum passage.The dialogue between the main character and the younger man was just horrible and unreadable at times. No insult intended toward the author here, but I just don't think she knows how most men communicate with each other, anymore then at 55 years old I still don't really understand how women communicate with each other.  In short it just felt like I was reading a high school paper.  I gave it a 2 simply because the descripions of Oregon were nicely done.  Otherwise, sorry, but I cant recommend this one.
