Title: Inaccuracies Plague Story
Review: Mr Bunn's biography on the end flap says "raised in North Carolina, taught in Switzerland, worked in Africa and the Middle East, and served as direct in Germany, currently lives in England." I can only wonder if he has ever spent much, if any, time at all in Florida. Having lived in Orlando for the past twenty-one years, I find it extremely annoying to read a novel about my city that is so full of inaccuracies. His geography is all mixed up, his roads are confused, and even the weather is incorrectly represented. In the twenty-one years I've been here, it never once hit 100 degrees, and certainly no where near that in April, for heaven's sake! Maybe this wouldn't bother someone who doesn't live here, but there's an old, but correct, saying: "Write about what you know." Mr Bunn simply does not know Orlando. It ruined the story for me.
