NO. That’s what you need to know. I’ve sacrificed myself for you, so you don’t have to read this trash. I got one-fourth of the way into this one before I deleted it from my Kindle. This was an eKindle book, and I bought into Amazon’s advertising for this one. At least it only cost $2.99. I’m not sure where this story was going, but it started out with a redneck-style reliving of the 9/11 disaster, with good ol’ boys watching television and chanting their desired response: “just nuke ‘em.” To further alienate this pinko liberal who thinks Bill Clinton was a right-wing nutcase, the author described an atheist’s sudden and inexplicable conversion to Christianity. But, the best (worst, most comical) part of the novel was the dialogue. The author has Pastor McCullen equating the Islamic religion with the devil, and he spoke of the day America would get even, “On that day, that pre-appointed day, he’ll kick Satan’s mangy rear end clear on down into the bowels of hell.” That’s right, kick Satan’s butt. Another example of the too-cutesy dialogue was when the leftist newspaper publisher Hank Simmons was stopped and ticketed by Township Constable Any Fitzu for going 39 in a 35 mph zone. Skip Coryell, the author, wrote that the Constable “glared down at Hank with all the compassion and understanding of a battle-hardened nun.” What the hell does that mean? That was enough for me. It was only after I quit that I noticed the subtitle, "Reaffirming Faith in God, Family, and Country!" Maybe, if I had seen that line, it would have been enough to steer me away from this book.
