I'm just over half way through "Dr. Sleep" and new to the Forum, so please don't yell at me if I'm putting out an error that's already been covered.
I live in Central NYS. If this book is set around 2013 then King got the whole Sam's Club thing wrong, too. We have had Sam's Clubs in the Northeast for a good 15-20 years. To determine the general vicinity of the True Knot based on where they do and do not have these stores is completely off base. I know, I know, maybe it's some sort of alternative universe because of the whole Dark Towers series. I'm really getting tired of that reasoning\excuse.
I stopped reading King many years ago because I was so sick and tired of so much of his work being set in New England. I started again a couple years back because I'd heard so many people raving about the Dark Tower Series. Now - now, it's like every flaw or out of whack 'fact' is all to blame on that series. It just seems like King is using that because he'd gotten too damn lazy to do a little research, but maybe that's just me.
Anyway - just needed to vent a little bit about that. Thanks.
