I couldn't agree more. I have a hard time with 'fictional novels' most of the time and only read them for mindless entertainment if I read them at all. But Frazier's are said to be based of historical fact so I took that into consideration when I decided to read Thirteen Moons. I guess we can all agree that there is probably so much 'literary license' involved that it would be hard to discern fact from fancy.
