I find it interesting to read books with the story taking place where I live or have lived, and am not to upset about inaccuracies (I am talking fiction, which is after all fiction)
I read a couple of books placed Inuvik when I lived there and they were terrible books but I did recognise all 2 of the local bars from the description alone
Same with TV shows such as Corner Gas and TRailer Park Boys. People think these are pretty far fetched, but I swear I have known those Trailer Park Boys and the TV show is much understated.
