Query: This is what happens when an author gets an agenda

Butler had an agenda with this book. He had the story planned out from beginning to end and he would not deviate. As i read this book i kept feeling the story moving out of line, like there was something else that needed to be told, there was more to this story. But then Butler would rench it back in by bringing up that infernal question. Other reviewers have spoiled the "surprise" but I wont. To me, the question didnt matter. The man's need to know seemed forced, almost unreasonable. And certainly the ending didnt necessarily have to end that way. Simply because he was recognized doesnt mean he was responsible. But, as i said, Butler had an agenda with this book. It was a story he told his way, regardless of how the story itself wanted to go. And so we end up with an endearing Vietnamese girl, an almost endearing American man who asks strange questions, and a story that limps from being beat into line too often. Skip it.
