A Simple Choice

This is certainly a fast-paced and intriguing premise - that members of the government, particularly senators, - are secretly approving grant money to funnel to research labs skirting the rules but having unheard of success in fighting cancer. While we'd all like to think we wouldn't succumb to the temptation to save a dying loved one if given the chance, many of us in our hearts know we might. At first, there were way too many characters to keep up with but after a while, I got into the rhythm of the short chapter snippets, the rat-tat-tat-tat of the plot line and found myself drawn in. Can't say the characters ever rise much above surface tropes but if you're looking for a quick read and some thinking about ethical issues involved in cancer research, you' should enjoy this action/mytery/political thriller.
