The Submission by Amy Waldman
2.0

My opinion of this book started out fairly high. The beginning showed tremendous promise. Waldman penned a fluid narrative that flowed between many different characters without confusion. The initial debate (which never mentioned the big words like 9-11 or Twin Towers) posed a powerful question with, initially, reasonable reactions and responses. After this great start, Waldman's narrative degenerates into cliché. Ultimately, she fails to help the reader connect to any of the characters.
(As a side note, the sexual innuendos were completely unnecessary in this book, quite gratuitious and jarring.)
