Review: Where's the FDA?
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 12 30, 2012
Grieving widow 55 year-old Dorrie is given an opportunity to test a new pill that will make a person forever a given age. Desperate and despondent, she agrees and chooses 24.The concept is interesting, the story is interesting. I got this as a freebie from the author. I took the boom because I respect this author, but I struggled through the writing, which was a lot of "tell" versus "show".  There were also a couple of things I couldn't quite buy into, like how Dorrie's husband is killed in a company, guarded lot. That should eliminate the suspect pool, and with this trial drug that they are highly publicizing with Dorrie as the spokeswoman, the FDA is noticeably absent. Then when her chemist friend uncovers the dangers, I again wondered why he didn't bring in the FDA.Is this a good book? Well, the story is interesting. Less nitpicky people would probably enjoy it. For me, it was just "eh."
