I have to agree with what you said after actually paying for the book and regretting that decision. Some of the information is outdated since it was written. At the point we read the book, we had never been to The Villages and we were attempting to educate ourselves on every aspect. We learned quickly this book was not filled with the information we were looking for, with the exception of explaining the Districts, Bonds, Chapter 190, and other government type information. After reading the book we had better questions for our sales person when we arrived in The Villages for our preview. I would put the book under the steering wheel of the car when I'd sit outside the church to pick our grandson up from pre-school!
This may sound harsh, and for that I will apologize, but we looked at ourselves and around The Villages, and simply couldn't grasp the concept of the people we saw as being anyone featured in the book. We then realized, The Villages is a large town with a population of over 100,000 and logically the Mr. Midnight's will live in every town. Mr. Blechman found the minority of those individuals and based his book.
