20. I read it in 1983, and I think that was the original version...

I remember seeing the expanded one advertised, and unless he changed the ending, there was no way I was gonna read it, sorry.

When I wrote my story, my characters had to drive through the old Route 66.

Now mind you, I was about 12 the last time I rode through it, so this time, I had drive it using Google.

Anyway, in my story, I also changed a few things, and I can understand why he would change the type of weather in Boulder.

Isn't that called a literary license?

And not to mention that his whole story is mostly after a cataclysmic epidemic, and who the hell knows how that would affect the weather?

(My characters also drive through Colorado, but that's for another post)
