- Anvilicious: To say the book's political messaging is obvious is an understatement: its core beliefs about the follies of political correctness are extremely heavy-handed.
- Narm: Many of the author's attempts to write "dramatic" lines are too cheesy to take seriously."In a world full of wolves, there are no safe spaces."
- They Copied It, So It Sucks!: It's been pointed out that the book's plot is essentially a rip-off of Die Hard (such as the action taking place almost entirely in a single building, the villans appearing to be terrorists but actually just taking hostages for monetary purposes, the protagonist being a badass guy who just happened to be among the hostages etc.), only with far less competent villains and a lot more politicising. note The author and publisher weren't subtle about the Die Hard influences either; at one point Foster explicitly compares Jake to John McClane and it was marketed as "Die Hard on campus". It was intended as a homage to the 1988 movie, but lots of readers felt it just came off as a weak imitation more than anything.
