Nobody enjoys a novel unless they find a character they care about. Once you identify, you live with your character, you feel the pain of their failures and share the rewards of their victories.

How much do we really need to know? If the government's job is to take care of us, then why don't we just lead a soothing life in front of the Sony, drinking an Absolut 100 on the rocks while contemplating our belly button?
I just don't trust those guys anymore. Any of them.

How hard is it to write a book criticizing imperialism, criticizing the lack of integrity of our government, the notion of the Bible being a nice made up story, the presence of God or what God represents in all of us, and the same presence of evil that resides in all of us--what we fight every day?...
