Customer Reviews of PLAYING WITH FIRE
Playing with Fire is a cold read I got this book from the library expecting to read an non-traditional romance, instead all I got was a cliche-ridden, faux literary piece of work. First of all, why do young, attractive women always get involved with rich, older men? I found it totally implausible that Lucy would be in involved with Ben just because he can buy her expensive clothes and keep her up at bicoastal apartments. Plus his stalker-like tendencies before they started dating, should have been a big turn-off to the semi-intelligent Lucy. Lucy, by the way, seems to be a literary realization of the author, who according to the back cover flap was a former model and actress, all female college grad, and jewish rich girl. Next, Shapiro's habit of interjecting flashbacks was so annoying I stopped reading them half way through the book. And the style of addressing the character of Carolyn was extremely bothersome as well. Save your time and read something else.
Mesmerizing and soul encompassing
I fell for this author with her very first work. I read about this novel in the local paper and the excerpt was compelling enough for me to go buy the book, and every book since that Dani Shapiro has written. I was caught up in her dance with Carolyn and moved to the point that I wrote to the writer trying to connect with this astonishing woman. She did write back, and I have that letter with all of her novels. A must read!!
