Flowertown is a fabulous summer read and a real sleeper that needs to get some notoriety. This is a post apocalyptic novel that takes place with an intimate setting and is a nice twist from the standards of the genre. This is not a zombie book. It is however a thriller that will keep you on the edge of your summer lounge, quickly swiping away at your ereader, and it will throw you through some kick ass twist and turns along the way.

Wasn't sure about this when I started it, as it wasn't like my usual picks. But oh. My. Goodness. Could not put this book down. Ellie was such a convoluted mess of a heroine. The plot was just twisted enough to catch myself sitting with my mouth hanging open. Loved this book and really looking forward to more from Ms. Redling.

Most of the books I read, I read because I've followed some trail of hype. Popular on Goodreads or all my friends have read it or best selling, etc, etc.

It's so nice, then, to just pick up a book because it sounded good and to discover what feels like a hidden gem.

Feno Chemical spills an experimental pesticide near a small town in Iowa. Those that survive the contamination are quarantined, guarded by the US Army and a private security force. They work, eat, sleep and are under constant medical supervision. Ellie Caulley's history in containment, all seven years of it, is complicated. She's lost a lover and gained one. She's angry but combats that by constantly smoking something. She's apathetic yet she still seems to have fight in her. And now, Flowertown as the quarantine area is dubbed, seems to be falling apart at the seams.

I really, really liked Ellie. Not in an "I can relate to her, I want to hang out with her on Saturdays" way. I just loved that she was a complicated hero, but that at the end of the day, she kicked ass. I loved that I was rooting for a character who almost never showered, who swore like a sailor and tended to miss what was in front of her. Regardless of what gave her the bite that followed her bark, Ellie is a fighter and there is nothing that I like better in a character.

The premise of this novel was fairly unique and well executed. I often found myself asking the "what if" questions. I found myself playing the, "just imagine" game. What if there was a chemical spill of this magnitude? What if a small population could infect the country or the world? Just imagine being stuck in this microcosm. Just imagine how you would react as you realized that life was slowly bleeding out its meaning. Would I be a 2? A 5? A 7? Docile and accepting? Normal? Angry? Any story that can stir up this sort of extended reaction is doing something right.

I did not see the big twist coming until just the right moment. I pieced it all together just a tick before Ellie gets the reveal, which is nicely done by the author. I got the satisfaction of the OH MY GOD, I FIGURED IT OUT. Plus, when the reveal came, it didn't feel like it came from left field. I saw all the pieces fall together.

The supporting cast is all wonderful as well, from Ellie's farm girl roommate to her intimidating boss. The newspaper selling ex-professor. The market owning old woman who never sleeps. The more I think about it, the more I realize how quirky and interesting they all were.

I have no complaints about the writing, but no big observations there either. I found some of the dialogue to be better than good and liked the rough and tumble feel of everyone in the town.

I found myself wondering at the end if this is meant to be a stand alone novel. I think it should be, or rather it could be, but in that case I was a little dissatisfied with the end. Either it was an amazing cliffhanger or I'm going to go wonder what happened to the villain and a few other balls left in the air while I eat ice cream now.

Specifically: (view spoiler)

This was a nice break from my typical book and I certainly don't regret reading it. One of the better things I've read in 2012. (less)

This is my 08/12 Kindle Lending Library selection. I have to admit that when I finished this book, I wanted to read it again immediately. While the plot initially seems fairly straightforward, there are some twists and turns I really did not anticipate, and I wanted to go back and really see how everything fit together with the new pieces.

I think Flowertown works because of its characters. Ellie (somehow) is likable; you find yourself cheering for her even though she's gross, foul-mouthed, apat...more

I've read a few books that loosely fall into the category of dystopian novels. I don't think it was ever really my thing and in recent years even less so. I don't read books to be depressed, I read for entertainment.

After a catastrophic chemical spill a small town in Iowa is fenced off from the world and the residents put into quarantine. The company responsible for the contamination is put in charge of the town and the health of the residents, but they have their own agenda.

This book was recommended to me by a friend based, I think, in large part on my enjoyment of author Mira Grant's Newsflesh trilogy. Like the Newsflesh books, S.G. Redling's novel Flowertown mixes sci-fi anxiety with realpolitik shenanigans. It's enjoyable and a quick read.

I can't recommend it super-highly, though, mostly because there are extended sequences in which not very much happens, lengthy bits of description of, say, looking for something in a colleague's office, or trying to hide one's...more

We follow the "awaking" of Flowertown resident Ellie. She is strong willed, a loyal friend, and has one heck of a temper to boot! She has been high for the past seven years and after a couple of nights off the joint she begins to see things she didn't notice before. Her, along with her Army...more

Full disclosure: this book was provided to me free of charge by Amazon Vine.

Life in Flowertown—a seven-and-a-half-square-mile stretch of Nowhere, Iowa, that was the victim of a toxic chemical spill seven years ago and has been the center of a scorched-earth quarantine ever since—is boring. And I mean boring. It's bad enough that the army officially looks the other way at the town's thriving pot trade. And if you happen to work for the local government... well, you start wondering if you weren't better off dying in the initial spill, as many of the town's inhabitants did.

Such is the situation in which our protagonist, Ellie Cauley, finds herself at the beginning of S. G. Redling's novel Flowertown. It's a rare day that she doesn't spend baked from the time she wakes up until the time she goes to sleep at night (it helps that her best friend is the town's main dealer). But, even through her drug-induced haze, she can see that things are rapidly getting worse—there was an accident on the access road that has stopped the supply trucks from coming in, so food is currently scarce (a situation that seems to be getting more and more frequent). Rumor has it that the army will be pulling out soon, leaving the town to fend for itself, or, worse, at the mercy of the “security” forces provided by Feno Chemical, the company responsible for the spill. Which affects Ellie more than most, since her boyfriend is one of the army guys. And still, Ellie sits in the records office day after day, shuffling papers...until the day the chemical folks decided to send a guard to watch the red-taped boxes next to Ellie's desk, boxes she never even thought about until the chemical folks got uppity. And now she's wondering: what's in them? Having gotten some bad news about her own health, Ellie thinks perhaps it's time to stir things up in Flowertown and find out what's really going on...

This book is a conspiracy theorist's dream, and I love that about it. It's ridiculous amounts of fun, and if you have to suspend some disbelief, well, look at the premise. By the time you open the book and read page one you're already suspending well above and beyond the call of duty, aren't you?

I've seen a number of reviewers complaining about the pervasive drug use in the book. Hey, guys? You're missing the point—Ellie (MINOR SPOILER AHEAD) doesn't start putting the pieces of the mystery together until she stops getting high. Might want to revisit the book's “glorifying” of drugs there. (And that should be all that needs said about that.)

Not to say it doesn't have its problems—rare is the time I will criticize a thriller for being too fast-paced, but there are a few times (mostly dealing with Ellie's visits to the medical center, which begged for more sci-fi-esque description to add to the grotesquerie) when the book would have benefitted from stopping to smell the roses. But hey, if you're a fan of breakneck pace, this sucker kicks off a few pages in and refuses to let up until the denouement a la Doug Winter or Jack Priest. It's a grand old time, with a well-plotted conspiracy and some characters you wouldn't move away from if they were sitting next to you in a bar telling this story. Well, okay, except for the whole chemical-spill-contagious-poison thing. *** ½

By which I mean: it was well-written (with the occasional evocative turn of phrase), it was entertaining, and I finished it in less than two days.

Great premise: due to a horrible chemical/pesticide spill in rural Iowa, a 7.5-mile area has been quarantined and more or less sealed off for the past 7+ years. There are some military and medical personnel who come in (given some sort of prophylactic medicine and hazard pay), but the area's residents (those who survived the initial sickening) are stuck there. From a dystopian perspective, this is a great set up. You've got martial law, compromised access to the outside world/news (internet/TV service is spotty and mail is censored - both in and out), food/water rationing, people given meaningless busywork jobs to keep them occupied, etc.

The story moves forward with the idea that either the military or the pharmaceutical company that caused the spill (and that maintains its own security forces within the area) is up to something No Good. There are suggestions that they're going to stage some sort of disaster that'll let them abandon the area, or that they're pacifying (or making sicker) the population with the medicine that's supposed to be curing them.

The protagonist spends a good portion of the book as an apathetic pot-smoker. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of anti-heroes, but this one works. She's realistic and funny (this is one of the few books I've read where the 'humorous' dialogue isn't cringe-inducingly forced and unfunny).

As with most books trying to pull off an ambitious premise, Flowertown doesn't quite explore the larger-scale implications of its plot points. The book ends kind of abruptly, having resolved only the most urgent aspects of the story's conflicts. The author sacrificed the possibility of building a richer, more complex dystopian world in order to maintain a brisk pace and a tightly-plotted story. (less)

Sorry, but you drop an image like that in my face and you have all but marketed yourself into a sale. I follow the link to learn more and the plot summary tells the woes of a small rural town in Iowa that became the site of a chemical spill. The grounds and town folk were contaminated and the residents quarantined... the residents that survived that is.

Flowertown is the type of book that makes you glad Kindle was invented. Published independently by a morning radio host, S.G. Redling, this is exactly the type of book that likely would not have been published a decade ago, but has flourished under the ability for Amazon to take low-risk, high-return on rookie authors.

Redling's tale of residents held in drab conditions under an almost dictatorish regime of the same pharmaceutical company that caused the disaster to begin with creates a twisted ironythat if you are shot by a doctor he would be the one to treat you in the trauma center. So crazy it is clearly possible in our society.

The one fallback of the book is it takes a good 50% of the book to really get wound up in the conspiracy that is blindly tearing the last hopes from Flowertown. And when the conspiracy does begin to take form it does so at a pace that can at times be confusing, but not by any means unable to follow. But with medical terminology and medications the learning curve appears much more steep than reality.

While the conspiracy may take time to develop, the book is almost get go from the start. Ellie, the protagonist is a short fuse, high-energy pot head stuck in a small town she was only breezing through making her a loner not only by choice, but by a society stand point that small town folk seem to shun outsiders even when you think they are smiling at you. From page 1 she is a reader's hero, the type to want to succeed and genuinely like. Not because she is the hero so to speak, but because she is the flawed hero with baggage, not the white knight without fault. A John McClane (Die Hard) if you will.

Like any good conspiracy everything you think you knew about the story is flipped upside down and the author tries to give the perceptive reader some signals, some are a little more obvious and give you a strong sense of what is going to transpire. While you can identify players and motives of some characters, the book is good at hiding the true nature of their intentions. At points you will be telling yourself, how can they be so blind, wanting to yell through the Kindle at them to open their eyes and see someone for who they are, by the end of the story Redling does a good job of laying her cards on the table and explaining how people could miss the information just laid before their eyes.

At just under 400 pages the book is a breeze to read even for a conspiracy. Aside from the medical jargon and medication that are all but required for a story of this nature the author does a good job keeping the story flowing and easy to read without needing to look up words or terms. If you have ever read Robin Cook, whose books I love, you would know what I mean.

At first I was feeling like the book ended abruptly, lacking an epilogue. But after thinking about it for a few it was fitting that it is resolved, but slightly mysterious. In society we are fairly used to having everything wrapped up in nice little bow these days, but it is nice to have that ambiguous ending.

Read All You Want.(less)

Usually if I dislike a story's main character, that's a deal-breaker for me. I didn't like Ellie. She was (as Aussies like to say) "rough as guts". She was dirty, foul-mouthed, selfish, and an anti-hero. I couldn't relate to her.

Just know this book will likely stretch your mind to consider scandalous activity at the hands of those in high places.
