It's "Hawai'i", or perhaps even "Mauna Loa" (the mountain that makes up a large chunk of the island). Even if the person is ignorant enough not to know that, they'll at least know that it's in the Hawaiian Islands.<BR/><BR/>When I see someone describe it as "the big island", I immediately question how well they actually know what they're about to spend chapter after chapter describing. My first thought is, "Did they do *any* research at all?"<BR/><BR/>Coming up next: A thriller in the big island of Japan, then SF/F in the big island of Oceania.Reihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17005292189176596201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-1157431380027008602006-09-05T00:43:00.000-04:002006-09-05T00:43:00.000-04:00EE, you are so blood-thirsty!
