I mention...Oh, I don't think I would like this. I mentioned your review and your opinions to my husband and he said that he didn't like it either, because it fosters an "us vs.them" mentality. I don't believe that people can be identified like that and frankly, it bothers me too. This is why there is hatred and prejudice, because one person is not "like you". I do think that some of the story elements sound strong and interesting, but that little stomachache you felt would probably exist in me too. Thank you for your candor in this review, and for not sugar-coating your reactions. Really enjoyed this review!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.com
