I bought this book with hopes that it would be good reading during my vacation. I ended up watching CNN instead. How is this book bad?1. No plot development or feasible links between actions.2. No character development. Characters are irrational to the point of seeming to be bi-polar.3. Drop all of the gratuitous "F" and "S" words and loose 5-10% of the book.4. Too many pointless and inappropriate discussions of the virtues/evils of conservatives and liberals. I was expecting an entertaining survival tale, not fifty repetitions of the author's political philosophy.
