Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Mary, Mary” is a straightforward crime thriller focusing on Alex Cross and his investigation. Identity politics, forced representation, and ideology don’t override plot or character; the story is driven by suspense, not checkboxes. Characters are established through their skills and motivations rather than surface-level identity traits.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The book portrays family, morality, and relationships with a relatively traditional approach. There’s no significant effort to undermine traditional values or rewrite cultural foundations. Masculinity and family play central, largely positive roles within the story’s stakes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are treated with basic respect, villains and heroes alike come in various forms, and there’s certainly no overt promotion of ideological uniformity. The story isn’t interested in using Alex Cross as a vehicle for ideological crusades.
