It might've been a better novel if she'd modeled it closer on Iran, then. Legolas Send a noteboard - 24/10/2011 07:28:24 PM
which is partly what the novel is based on.

Because I have to say, I rather disliked this book, and a good part of the reason why was that I just couldn't get past her preposterous premise - it sounded like she was going way, way overboard in attacking the American religious right.
