I got tired of the main character Ellie's "piss poor" attitude and the shallowness of all the characters. I suppose I would have the same attitude were I in the same circumstances as they were.

  “I had an uncertain start getting to grips with the scene setting and what was going on in conversations, but once I got past that I really got into the book, by the halfway point I was engrossed.
  I enjoyed it; I liked the twists and turns of the conspiracy theory and the way the plot was slowly revealed.
  I thought the book was well written. The overall theme is a little on the grim side but it all fits well with the plot. I enjoyed the ending and thought it left room for a sequel. ”

  “When Feno Chemical spilled an experimental pesticide in rural Iowa, scores of people died. Those who survived contamination were herded into a US Army medically maintained quarantine and cut off from the world. Dosed with powerful drugs to combat the poison, their bodies give off a sickly sweet smell and the containment zone becomes known simply as Flowertown. Seven years later, the infrastructure is crumbling, supplies are dwindling, and nobody is getting clean. Ellie Cauley doesn’t care anymore. Despite her paranoid best friend's insistence that conspiracies abound, she focuses on three things: staying high, hooking up with the Army sergeant she's not supposed to be fraternizing with and, most importantly, trying to ignore her ever-simmering rage. But when a series of deadly events rocks the compound, Ellie suspects her friend is right—something dangerous is going down in Flowertown and all signs point to a twisted plan of greed and abuse. She and the other residents of Flowertown have been betrayed by someone with a deadly agenda and their plan is just getting started. Time is running out. With nobody to trust and nowhere to go, Ellie decides to fight with the last weapon she has—her rage. Flowertown is a high-intensity conspiracy thriller that brings the worst-case scenario vividly to life and will keep readers riveted until the final haunting page.”

  “I tried to bring myself to finish this book, but just couldn't do it. I got tired of the main character Ellie's "piss poor" attitude and the shallowness of all the characters. I suppose I would have the same attitude were I in the same circumstances as they were. But, after reading over half the story without nearly any development, the plot became rather mundane and contrived. Sorry. I tried. Moving on.”
