Horror's Greatest Hits
Graeme Waymark asked this question about Edge of Eternity (The Century Trilogy, #3):
1. Are all the critics here Republicans? 2. Was the advancement of rights for blacks and colored people good for America I ask those same critics? 3. Are people saying that lies and mistruths are stated by Follet, because they refuse to believe the truths of what crimes whites did to blacks, the corruption in police forces, and bigots in State governments?
William Villalobos I am 95% on this book and I am struggling to finish it because his bias is too much. I am a Republican that can see past failures and recognize errors…moreI am 95% on this book and I am struggling to finish it because his bias is too much. I am a Republican that can see past failures and recognize errors but this book is too much. It is definitely the worst of the trilogy.
