I enjoyed the story-line and writing style, especially that it isn’t graphically violent. However, it feels fringe in its’ assumptions and beliefs as if author is trying to convince me of a world-view using the story and characters to do that. The ideology seems to be the foundation of the book, with characters and story line superimposed on top of that to reinforce it. When reading, I try to not only take in the story, but to determine if the author is attempting to convince me of certain viewpoints.
