Braid tugging and poorly written female characters aside, a very large number of the interpersonal problems in those books could be solved in anybody ever talked to each other. The nobody ever trusts anybody or talks about an issue gets kind of irritating. Even if he was going for realism it is pretty over the top.
Kind of like how a large number of Seinfeld episodes would be over in five minutes if they had cell phones.
I actually find one of the interesting parts of the books being the kind of way that misinformation can spread across the country.
Like a character does one thing and that action gets attributed to a whole bunch of different people by different characters.
But yea, I'm on book 9 now and definitely a bit frustrated with nobody just talking about things.
