In this story about the expansion, its political theme is just right. It did its role of presenting the realities of the business world.TheSeelieCourtJester wrote:I enjoy reading a book centering around politics, but I don't want it to overtake the plot completely. After all, a book should be about the characters, and not the world they live in. Otherwise it'd be just a reflection of what is going on around the world. Still, it couldn't hurt to know the context of the world the characters live in, as well as the complications that could arise from the politics in that world.

I agree with this. I don't mind politics as long as it's substantiated and presented with facts.CaitlynLynch wrote:I like politics as long as the author doesn't permeate the book with their own views. They should be presenting the facts, impartially. If a CHARACTER has specific views, that's something quite different.
I read The Expansion (my review here forums.onlinebookclub.org/viewtopic.php ... mp;t=46456) and I thought the politics in it were really well done. There were really good, clear explanations of the Panama Canal's geo-political history, and very believeable speculative politics on what might happen in the event of a real expansion.

I might not be turned off if the writer does not hold my particular political sentiments, infact it might work the opposite effect!

I agree . My thoughts are exactly the sameGideon umunnakwe wrote:for me politics is a way of life, it doesn't matter if one likes it or not, it a circle that we must revolve around, so having it on my book is a privilege, because it open my scope and keep me prepared for the future
