- Slow motion: a true story User Review - Not Available - Book Verdict. Successful novelist Shapiro (Picturing the Wreck, Doubleday, 1996) details the tumult and rebirth she experienced in early adulthood, illustrating how one tragedy can prevent another from happening. Read full review.
- Shapiro is a thoughtful observer, and her writing is lovely. Some of her most vivid scenes are those in which she brings other people to life: her mother sitting through a therapy session in a froth of rage, holding X-rays of a lethal brain tumor that she doesn’t disclose; her father at his morning prayers. The Washington Post.

There are two wrecks in this strikingly candid memoir, and one reads with the fascination and horror of drivers rubbernecking on a highway. The first wreck is the car crash that lands the author's parents in the hospital, her mother with 80 broken bones, her father in a coma. The second wreck is Shapiro's own life—a life that for much of the book makes it hard to sympathize with her.
