While the local color could have been conducive to pulling the reader into this story, the tremendous number of typos and spelling errors were just too distracting. Repeated uses of <don't'>, <they'll for there'll>, whole sentences and phrases missing - all tended to suggest a 'quick and dirty', rather slipshod job of manuscript preparation and publication.

The premise of the story was indeed interesting, but there were too many references to supposedly profound statements made by this modern day 'Jesus' - which were never specified. There were also many hints and statements about how similar 'Jesus' appeared to be to a couple other people, suggesting he might have been an imposter. There was never a clarification of why he looked like a certain comedian - but was/was not that person, etc. This seemed to undermine the plot. There needed to be more meat on the bones! All these non-specifics and innuendoes, combined with the typos and misusages suggested I had just read the outline or rather thin rough draft of what MIGHT turn out to be a fantastic novel - or a missed opportunity.

"Why Ann Arbor" is a very uplifting book.
It shows what could happen if people were
more understanding of different beliefs
and opinions and willing to work together
to make this a better world. It is a
positive view of "what would Jesus do"
if he returned to earth.
