This was about the worst book I've every read. The writing was atrocious. Poor grammar and sentence structure made it sound like about middle school level writing. The dialogue of the different characters all sounded identical and flat...it wasn't possible to distinguish between different characters at all by their speech. None of them ever showed any emotion whatsoever, no matter what personal tragedies happened to them. The plot was so unrealistic as to be laughable...sometimes you certainly must suspend disbelief when reading, of course, but it was too difficult to do that with this book due to how ridiculous it all was. The author had an extremely obvious political agenda of his own and didn't fail to make it clear at multiple points, far too obviously, while not-too-subtly insulting those who disagree with him. Whether the reader agrees with the views of this author or not, this is a poor depiction of what his side believes. I literally read this entire book because it was so bad I found it hilarious. That's the only reason I even finished it.
