Slow Down is wickedly good fun. Goldberg skillfully weaves together elements of mystery, social satire and futurism into a wholly original thriller that contradicts its title by racing forward into new territory while remaining thoroughly entertaining with every escalating twist.

Goldberg paints unsparing portraits of his superficially-glamorous anti-heroes, and convincingly constructs the book's universe with detailed descriptions of the peculiar idiosyncrasies of its exclusive milieu.

These privileged, neurotic, maniacally-driven Manhattanites are difficult to love, but that's fine because they do not love themselves, either. Goldberg is craftily criticising rather than glorifying these despicable people. Barreling through their cutthroat, FOMO, keeping-up-with-the-Joneses lives with them is a guilty pleasure. I especially enjoyed the little sister character, Cassie. Her behaviour is vile, yet she provides a window into the genuine, uncorrupted sliver that remains in narrator Noah's heart of hearts.

Dominick the domineering filmmaker seems especially realistic--- a difficult task for an author to pull off when the character indulges in such outlandish exploits. Goldberg really captures the tightrope essence of the dynamic between well-funded self-proclaimed geniuses of the arts and their beleaguered calculating underlings.

The futuristic elements are refreshingly original, oddly plausible, and remind me of a snappy homage to William T. Vollmann. I'm definitely tempted to walk into a bar and order a Pennytini with an infused coin.

This novel is highly cinematic. I can imagine it adapted into a very stylish dark film that would also be both subversive and amusing.

The theme of unchecked, relentless, self-destructive ambition is very timely. Slow Down explores this in a vivid, escalating, entertaining roller-coaster-ride of a book.

Slow Down Lee Matthew Goldberg 9780989932370 Books Reviews

Slow Down is a fast-paced look into the dark side of fame, fortune, and the underbelly of a New York City that existed in a different time. There are exciting twists and turns with every character that's introduced, and a protagonist that you hate to love, but can't help despite his conflicting flaws. A gripping and compelling first novel that's a quick and fun read, but really leaves you wanting more.
Fast paced and dark novel that leaves you wanting more. A great debut novel. I'm looking forward to reading more from Lee!
Amazing page turner of a book. Lee Matthew Goldberg has created a gritty world populated by a compelling cast of people who are, at their best, an unsavory lot. Lee's vivid and engaging writing style propels the action forward at a pace that kept me saying "I have time for one more chapter."

For anyone interested in a good read, look no further than "Slow Down"
With New York City as a backdrop, the author introduces us to Noah, a privileged yet unfulfilled young man searching for fame and an illusive love. Like Noah, all of the characters in the book are seriously flawed. As the plot develops, the novel becomes a page turner with exciting twists as Noah gets a chance to make a pact with the devil. We sense elements of both Birdman and Gone Girl. I could easily see the story turned into a movie. Accolades to Lee Goldberg for a very creative and inventive first novel.
I just finished Slow Down and I already want more! Lee Matthew Goldberg created a world of dark and troubled characters and a unique story line that I almost felt guilty for needing to know what happens so badly that I could not stop reading. I felt like a voyeur, addicted to watching their lives unfold with unyielding curiosity. Lee's style allows for you to visualize his story and see the characters in motion and color. It was an incredible experience to read this novel and I look forward to devouring his next!
This was a crazy fast paced ride and I couldn't put it down! It's as if Bret Easton Ellis and F Scott Fitzgerald got together and had a beautiful f***ed up baby. Loaded with vivid imagery and well drawn characters you follow the journey of young Noah, a wealthy kid from NYC, freshly graduated from college with the desire to do something great with his life, and his interactions with people around him that can give him great success, but also possibly cause moral ruin. Traveling at a high speed from uptown to SoHo, this novel grips you and doesn't let go till the very end.
At times a page turner akin to Robert Crais, Leonard Elmore,, and Lee Childs, the central character narrates a fantastic noir tale of alcohol, drugs, and sex among the mostly young and mostly idle rich and preppy world of New York. Unlike Joe and Elvis and even Jack Reacher, Noah is clearly and decidedly no hero. Of the dozen or so characters in the book only one, a Mexican housekeeper deserves empathy. While not more than one or two will earn your sympathy. Still this tale will hold your interest throughout its plot twists and activities. Read it and decide for yourself whether Noah has earned redemption and your sympathy. It was for me, the central question that hangs over the novel.
