Title: Flat, Shallow, and Tepid
Product review: Cullen takes several interesting premises: a second constitutional convention, a global economic crisis, the fall of the Republican and Democratic political parties, an attempted military coup, the rise of a new Pan-Arabism; and does absolutely nothing of interest with any of them. Plot, characterization, background, and writing are all two-dimensional at best. Cullen's efforts to create depth to his characters and pathos to his story are remarkably clumsy and wholly ineffective. The most I can say about this book is that you can at least take it to a used bookstore for some trade credit.
