The acting is horrible. The writing is terrible. The story veers off into areas unrelated. There is a moment of a thoroughly unrelated homosexual encounter. (What was the point of that?!) Moments I know that are so really stretched too far to be believable. And on and on.

So bad I couldn't finish the series.

"The writing is terrible"

and what fiction have you ever written?

I lived through that era, too. As historical fiction, HACF is pretty decent. "areas unrelated" -- hello, it's FICTION about a specific era, and, without knowing what specifically you're talking about: maybe those "unrelated" areas are period-setting, or character-developing.

HACF not for you. Let's leave it at that. You can't please everyone.

I think the homosexual encounter is to show how joe and folks like joe use sex as a tool to exert power over other people.

Sorry you have bad taste and don’t understand character development outside of in your face plot points ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
