Review: Did author have American characters using Brit vernacular as a lark?
Rating: 4 out of 5

I found The Orlando File to be a fast read, and since my sister works in the field of stem cell research, this held great interest for me on this controversial subject.Mr Irvine gives readers so much information regarding who, what and how decisions get made when it comes to those needing transplants and other healthcare. If you watched The Dallas Buyers Club and saw all the true to life horror about medical research and crooked pharmacetuical companies & FDA, you know the truth hurts and lives are lost all over the almighty dollar.There is enough action, intrigue and adventure to keep you turning pages, so blow off the possible faux pas of this author making Americans speak in British fashion (this only happens if you live in the UK for several years and begin saying things like knickers instead of trousers). I found it charming in some places, but see in other reviews that it annoyed some readers.Only a few errors within this well conceived novel. Yep, you'll need to buy the next book, but I think you'll be up for it after reading this thriller.
