Review: Finding the story errors is as much fun as reading the book

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the book, and the series as a whole, but there are so many story errors that they have become the norm, not the exception.Examples - Chapter 4:1. The protagonists left Chicago driving East and then Northeast heading for Milwaukee, Milwaukee is North and just a scosh West of Chicago. You try and drive east out of Chicago and you will need a boat very very quickly.2. The protagonists get to Milwaukee and are heading to the UP of Michigan - so they take a ferry from Milwaukee WI across Lake Michigan to Muskegon MI because "it's the most direct route to Michigan".  The author either forgot, doesn't know, or hopes that we the readers don't know that the UP is attached to WI, and the destination listed in the story was only a 5 hour drive from Milwaukee. Instead they take a 2 hour ferry, and then have to drive 7 hours to get to their destination in the UP.  Smart travel planning, I'll take the 5 hour drive instead of the 9 plus hour detour thank you.These little failures are littered throughout the series and have become a game with a few of my friends, each trying to find the next mistake.
