I'm about 100 pages in and I'm just not feeling it so far. I think I just don't like Ringo's style because everything I've attempted to read of his just has a far too goofy feel for my taste and his dialogue feels phony and ''sitcom''. His characters feel like cartoons to me.

I'm over halfway through book 3 of the series. It's even more "Faith based" than the second book.

I don't recall the author, but he had a short and pithy comment about people who assume one or more of the characters in a book reflect the opinions, attitude, lifestyle etc of the author. In John Ringo's case, he does put quite a bit of his political views* into *some* of his characters.The ones he paints in opposition aren't just strawmen. They have motivations for their behavior and often pretty detailed backstories. *Read some of his Facebook posts. He's kicked off a mostly serious recruitment campaign to go help fight ISIS and other terrorists. |
