My book club just read “Her Fearful Symmetry” by Audrey Niffenegger.
I hated it and will, forthwith, enumerate the reasons why.
Number one: Third person omniscient point-of-view sucks anyway, and Niffeneggar executed it particularly badly in this novel, sometimes writing from different characters’ perspectives in the same paragraph.
Number two: Only one of the characters was remotely likable and had a compelling arc. That was Martin, the upstairs neighbor who suffered from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. As you might have guessed, the upstairs neighbor was not one of the main characters. All the main characters were needy, whiny, pathetic, and/or generally uninteresting.
Number three: The author put all the characters’ thoughts in italics…and there were a lot of them. Here’s a sample: “Martin stood holding the letter. The worst thing has happened. He could not take it in. She’s gone. She would not come back.”
Take out italics; a little shift in tense…Presto change-o! Tell me it’s not better thus: “Martin stood holding the letter. The worst thing had happened. He could not take it in. She was gone. She would not come back.”
Number four: The “twist” was predictable. It had been done better and, more importantly, twenty-five years ago in a Young Adult novel I read called Stranger with My Face by Lois Duncan.
Number five: The denouement was wholly unsatisfying. I’m thinking she was under deadline and wrote the last 30 pages in 30 minutes. “OK, this one has a baby, the guy leaves her, so-and-so gets a boyfriend, and what’s-her-name finds a crow to fly away on. Done! Whew!”
I could give you more reasons why I hated this book, but I hope that gives you enough to go on.
Thanks for asking.

Another official is the sergeant at arms who, as the Senate’s chief law enforcement officer, maintains order and security on the Senate premises.
The Senate’s chief administrative officer is the secretary of the Senate,
who maintains public records, disburses salaries, monitors the acquisition of stationery and supplies, and oversees clerks.
The powers of the presiding officer of the Senate are far less extensive than those of the speaker of
the House. They may vote in the Senate (ex officio, for they are not an elected
member of the Senate) in the case of a tie, but
are not required to.
Despite not being a senator, the vice president of the United States serves as ex officio presiding officer and president of the Senate;
the vice president may vote only if the Senate is equally divided.
Also, like the House, the Senate can override the
president’s veto with a ?2?3 (67 votes) vote.
Every two years, 33 (for two elections) and then 34 (for one election) senators are elected.
After 1913, all the people of the state chose their senators by vote.
