RE: Jodi Picoult, Vanishing Acts.
I think it may take me a bit longer to read it than most. I read the first chapter last night and was amazed that she was talking about specific areas around me. I've fished off the Orford/Fairlee Bridge, Chris and I have had a date in the Baker Library Bell Tower (18 years ago

) The NH State Trooper that she worked with and acknowlegdes in the book was a friend of mine that I graduated high school with (James Steinmetz). The town that she lives in is Hanover, NH (she changed the name for the book) Dartmouth College is in Hanover and I used to work there. Everytime a new place is mentioned I can actually see the real place rather than creating one in my mind. It is very strange.
