In fact many of us could hardly remember what happened in them. We were all quite shocked that this book had been banned for its sex scenes, we couldn't see that they were all that shocking. Maybe it was easier to portray himself as such a person, wouldn't we all portray our best side if we wrote a novel about ourselves? It made us wonder how John Berendt managed to get so many people to open up with so many confidences while he himself seemed to be such a quiet character. It does seem very odd that so many unusual characters existed in such close proximity, maybe it's to do with the heat in Savannah, maybe it just attracts a certain type of inhabitant, but it certainly sounds like a very interesting place to live. All the characters seem to be much larger than life, and for them all to occur in such a small area of Savannah we found to be unbelievable. One of the main elements we all took away from this book was the fact that we couldn't quite believe that it was non-fiction.
