I read the book in like 2 days. I couldn't put it down. But once again, it's fiction. Anyone who feels the need to "disprove" what he wrote doesn't understand the definitions of fiction and non-fiction.
I think he's a pretty good author. Plus, any hype, is GOOD hype. He's captivated his readers, and has gotten paid doing it. I love it when small minds get pissed off and complain about things that just ARE.
