My favorite part of the novel is that Consequence leaves you with no easy answers, and presents to you the subtleties of trying to make political change a reality. Normally social change is shown to us as sudden uprisings of political thought, with influential figures like Martin Luther King Jr. sprouting up out of no where and bringing about momentous change. What are typically ignored are the hundreds of actions that occur beforehand and build the stage for societal change. Consequence is about those actions, and the people behind them. It shows the struggles individuals face about whether or not to cross moral lines, and the general indifference to nuance the rest of the nation shows as they lump all activist movements together. As with any good novel, the lessons that you learn aren't necessarily from the climax of their goals. In Consequence their greatest victory isn't the results of the political actions they put on, but is from the home and support network they built with each other.
Definitely not your typical novel, and will be equally rewarding for those who don't frequently read, as well as voracious readers who are jaded to the standards.… (altro)
