described on the back flap as being "the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author." She's apparently written about 100 books. Jon Land, the co-author, has himself written some forty books. Neither name is familiar to me, and looking at the titles that are listed for them, I don't believe I've read anything else by either person. And I doubt I will be willing to start anything else either one of them has written.
We all have different taste in books, of course. Something one of us thinks is the best book every, someone else just doesn't like. Not a big deal. And this book is the kind of thriller that I often enjoy reading. I am willing to overlook some relatively small errors of fact, but relocating the AP exam to the middle of the school year is unforgivable.
I see stuff like this a lot in both movies and books. The author or film maker needs something for the suspense of the plot, and just throws in something as if whether or not it could possibly happen that way is unimportant. It's sheer laziness not to find something that would be factually correct. There's also an arrogance in thinking that no one would no and no one would care.
