Review: No one would be this stupid ...

I gave up 33% into the book.Everyone is too stupid. Everything is too much. In every way. The good guys are so good, so beautiful, so kind, so ... The bad guys are so evil, so dumb, so ... nothing seems in any way like it could be happening. It seems more like a caricature than anything else.The main character acts in a way that is incomprehensible. He is - supposedly - smart. He makes choices, give promises, acts in a way I would not expect an idiot to do. I am supposed to cheer for this unlikable idiot?I don't buy the scenario, the characters or the story.What made me give up?Well the really really bad guys that are yankee stupid morons go invade the world of the really really beautiful liberal wonderfully amazingly beautiful people. In order to kill all the men and make all the women slaves since they are a 'natural resource'. I am staring at a sentence here where it says they would be "little more than slaves", while the stated goal is to make them slaves. I can't read something this inconsistent.On the positive? I would say the author writes well. Normally that would save it from 1 star, but not this time.
