loyal, even to the extent of being gullible. He

controversy to one side, was otherwise enjoyable),
I found myself questioning whether such criticism
was justified. Characters on both sides, including

time. However, it has grown in its importance to
literary critics and readerships over the last

debate, but has now become one of the key reasons
people vote for a particular candidate. But is gun
control the only answer to help stop crime, or is
