Maybe we should first consider the book’s literary merits…NONE!

Everybody wants to hyperventilate over censorship and Islamic intimidation. What about the fact that Sherry Jones is an unrepentant hack, deliberately courting controversy and scandal, since her book hasn’t a molecule of storytelling merit?!

If the subject of this book were written out of whole cloth and Mohamed made no appearance in the story, it would have never been considered for publication.

It’s garbage. Meritless, merciless garbage and all this yapping over fear of Muslim backlash is burying that fact.
