The only question I have is, what does Mrs. Martinez wife do for a living!? I'm married to a cop and I would have to have a pretty awesome job to be able to afford to live in the same neighborhood as the Fullers!

I did not like the story being told without a character from the NRA giving an insider look. Although I see the intention being to bring light to their callousness, the story may be better received by nay-sayers if there was more balance in the sharing of all perspective- including the NRA. If I didn't see all of the real-life ads and news reports myself, I would believe this book was just bashing the NRA. That being said, I give the book an overall rating of 4 out of 4 stars and highly recommend the book to all mature readers. A definite must-read.

Where this one fell down on me- I was bored by the way some of the ballistics and gun permitting was presented; it was a stream of consciousness data dump. In this instance, less would be more. I'm a liberal gun enthusiast. I got the feeling the author was hoping to send a message to gun enthusiasts, however, I feel MORE avid gun owner would shy away from this book because it seems to be from the liberal perspective. There was perspective about FOX and a few other current event politics that would make the target audience shy away.
Two suggestions for the Author to achieve the goal presented in the forward -
1) Remove the moral to the story feel of converting Gun enthusiast and ballistics, permitting factoids. The main storyline is solid and intriguing. An epilogue could be added to get the author's desired political point across.
or
2) Start with characters that are AVID gun owners and offer subtle positive references to fox, trump enthusiasts, then reform the characters to turn in their guns. Again, factoids should be less, not more.

I don't like the books that are slow paced and I found this exactly what I didn't want it to be, Slow. Apart from that, the book was good.lori_parker2003 wrote: ↑01 Mar 2018, 09:26 Had trouble getting through the few pages they give to check out the book. Found it slow and I am a pro-gun person so this biased my view I think. Probably will not buy the book to read in full.
