I'm currently on Chapter 9, but I've realize from Chapter 3 or 4 that Ali is one of the DUMBEST characters in the world. Can someone please create an accused person with some COMMON SENSE? This woman just doesn't listen. How many murders do you have to be accused of to make you wake up?The character Ali is an idiot. I can't feel sorry for her when she won't even help herself. This started out good, but boy is this (or she) stupid. Women do have brains, so why wouldn't the author write a character with intelligence? Totally disappointed.
