Title: An Entertaining Read For The Literate Liberal -Others Beware
Review: The characters and sub-plots are sufficiently well developed to keep the reader interested in the evenly paced story line. Unfortunately, Uris'life-long bent to apply broad strokes of the literary brush to his socio-political foes emerges here as polemic against the bulk of its potential readership.The premise that a kabal of gun industry gnomes and whiskey drinking, blood -thirsty hillbillys is the evil demiurge behind the National Rifle Association, the Republican Party and the Conservative Movement is credible only to a handfull of Leftist Idealogues. These folks read pamplets-not novels.In order to succeed, any novel must foster the readers natural desire to suspend disbelief and to vicariously interpose himself into the microcosm of the book. " A God In Ruins" does not succeed.
