I had seen so many good reviews of this book that I had been tempted to buy it, but I don't think I will now.
I admit that there's no way that I would got many (any?) of the cultural errors, (apart from maybe the Penthouse and the overcrowding) and that's the problem with a society that is so different from mine (English) that I would have to take on trust the author's knowledge. It's scary that the author's knowledge seemed to consist of imdb and Wiki.
