I've been watching the show Haven on Sci-Fi and I've gotten hooked 2 it. If I can't watch it that night I make sure I DVR it. The thing is that it ended the season finale 2 Friday's ago. I want 2 know should I read the book? I always read your books first before watching the movies, but I didn't know that u had made a book about this. Should I still read the book, cause watching your movies is just like the books u wrote. They r just like the books.

My husband and I just listened to this audiobook, and we both felt a little frustrated at the ending that was not really an ending, which I suppose was the point of the story, but we also caught what I thought was 3 rather noticeable inaccuracies. Not that it really changes the story in the least, but they stood out to me especially. First off, the back story takes place in 1980 and there is a remark about the Colorado Kid ordering either a coke or a diet coke. Diet coke wasn't released until 1982. Another point in the story the Colorado Kid is said to be making a trip down to Starbucks, which didn't open outside of Washington state until several years later. Lastly, there was a reference to renting a video or a movie from Blockbuster...once again, no Blockbuster stores were in existence until many years after 1980. I supposed it is only because I was a teenager during that timeframe that I knew pretty specifically when those items became "household names."
