Listen to Me

The book's premise seemed promising but unfortunately it fell apart.

I see now why this book has been rated so poorly by fellow Goodreads users. I'm always happy to give a book a fair chance, but nothing about the plot or characters' actions made sense. I know there's a bit of irrationality involved with strife but this takes it to new levels. The climax of the book hits in the last 15 pages or so, and then collapses fast.

Also, can authors please stop this annoying tendency to cite classics for no real reason? It just feels like a thin ploy to show that they've read the classics.
