Query: Has it occurred to anyone

that this book is faction, not nonfiction? How could the author possible have captured every word out of the mouths of the people he is writing about? Did he have a tape recorder with him at all times? (Unlikely, considering the occasions he describes supposedly being present at.) Does he have a superhuman memory? Hardly. Therefore, he made up about 90% of it. In addition, he ascribes thoughts, feelings, and reactions to people that he couldn't possibly know about - such as a "smile playing about" someone's lips when he clearly wasn't there to see it (and what a cliche THAT is). The book is also poorly structured, consisting as it does of the history of Savannah, long dull descriptions of so-called local 'characters' (which I skipped), and a murder and its trials. The result is a dog's dinner without any credibility. If it's a novel, say so at the front, don't pretend it's an accurate account. A waste of money.
