Terrorism vs Romance

Post by SoledadCanaria »

Both of these topics are on separate edges of a spectrum, if there ever is one. Do you think the author did a good job of bringing these topics together?

I do not think the author did well bringing the topics together. The author was lagging in the romance aspect and focused so much on terrorism.

The author did not bring romance enough in the book. It was mostly focused on terrorism. However it had a nice plot.

I think the author failed both counts horribly. There was no real sense of danger or suspense from the terrorists. In fact, I felt that the terrorism was rather tame because of that. In addition, the romance was almost non-existent. The only time we really see romance, I guess, is when the new couple is flirting between the CIA agent and one of the girl escorts (I forgot their names). It could hardly be called a romance.

The romance and terrorism all dealt with the plot's emotions and themes.

The author did well, Dorothy May Mercer did well in combining terrorism and romance.

I do feel that the author brought out the aspect of terrorism and romance perfectly well. I could feel the romance between Sharon and Steve.

To an extent, the author did a good job blending the romance and Terrorism.
