Help Wanted
This book started out well. The characters were easy to relate to and the story was very real. Unfortunately, as more character back stories were added it became confusing and the work dimension seemed to drag on. There was so much work-related detail that by the end of the book I had lost interest, and the outcome didn't have any impact.

Too Close To Me
I was not "blown away" with "Help Wanted". Ms. Waldman has produced multiple minor characters with semi-interlocked tragic flaws. One even meets up with Michael Vick. Why couldn't she have created a fictional football star? Before college. I worked in a similar firm, and I witnessed too many workers with no hope. The novel is too close to my memory bank.
