....And a little help from God. Nice ending.

"A good writer must have an opinion and stick to it and this writer has that. I rate the plot structure five stars as it has its highs and lows and to the target audience this is an entertaining book. Knowing all kinds of Christians, they are in a spectrum of conservatism. I'd argue the more conservative ones might say that, based on the scriptures, it is unrealistic for God to turn his back on America. But this is a 'what if' story. It is more of a message from the writer to his audience. That leads me to my next point, which would be the clear opinion of the writer. Depending on to whom this book is being catered, the conservative-Christian believes of the writer are so quick to show that the first three chapters read more like a rant, than an actual novel. If a liberal or democrat was reading this to explore a different view, it would make them feel as if their own opinions are not validated, therefore, they would choose not to listen or put the book down. I imagine the target audience to be 35 and up, already Christians, but the word 'Christian' is very broad nowadays, so that reduces the readers to just a handful of people. There is also a lot of info dumping throughout the book, which I can see how it can be necessary for someone who doesn't know much about American politics. However, in many occasions, when we read the background of the characters, I would spread the information and give the reader details little by little, so that we begin to form a connection with the characters. Grammar and syntax wise, many sentences felt like they had a period where there needed to be a comma. Some ideas just ended abruptly. I'm glad to see that Inkitt is a place where one can feel comfortable and share one's opinions, mostly from Republicans, a group I feel that lately are being mislabeled and silenced on media sources. My advice to the writer is to edit this book in a way that will generate a wider audience. Perhaps, ease us into your message after the characters have hit rock bottom by living the life that God frowns upon. I would also not point out the character's mistake because it makes it look like the book is written from God's perspective. For example, way in the beginning, there is a plot driving scene in the hospital. The writer states all the negative reasons why such character is in the hospital (no spoilers), but this doesn't let me generate my own opinion about the character. Most of the scenes with the president are the same way up until the end. If the writer begins by judging his own characters, then I'm not sure I can relate to them or want to be them. "
