NAAD, and the accused individual members, insist the claims are fraudulent, but there is, or seems to be, considerable damning evidence against them, in the form of similar manuscripts that were written by the accusers and submitted to the publishers of the later, successful, works.

My heart went out to her, but because of the callous way she treats Everett I had a hard time truly liking her.Įverett is a sweet, easy-going character and reminds me a lot of my own husband (who also just completed the same rigorous training as the characters in the book). Her parents are unsupportive, her boyfriend has cheated on her, and now she may lose her scholarship (all in the first chapter!). Because she is so driven, she tends to close herself off to relationships, leading to her living a very lonely life. While this was nice to see, it was also the downfall of her character. She is an extremely smart, driven, young woman.
