I've read a few more pages, and I'm going to go to at least fifty before I give up. Maybe if there are no more errors it will be worth it.
One of my faults is that I can be a real stickler for details. If I know something, and a writer or the movie has gotten it wrong, I get very annoyed.
I do sort of understand about fictionalizing a location, but instead of having a completely fictional county in Arizona, he could have just more vaguely said Southern Arizona. Tucson has already been referenced, and I wouldn't be surprised if my character goes there.
Oh, well. To give you an idea of my pickiness: recently I was a beta reader for a writer friend's novela. He has his characters driving from Kansas City to the Denver airport. When the set out on the second or so day from Hays, Kansas, the expectation clearly stated is that they'll get to the airport inside a few hours, do what they've come to do, and be back in Hays by nightfall. Oh, and they're driving a humvee sort of vehicle across the land, avoiding the interstate. And they have a couple of scouts on horseback, going ahead of them. I did let the writer know (who lives in the Denver area, by the way) that I've driven between KC and Denver plenty of times, and even at highway speeds on the interstate, it's at least six hours from Hays to Denver. He's also a pretty good friend of mine, and I'll be interested to see if he fixes that part of it.
