[edit] Location

Being totally ignorant of the book, how much is the location of Kingsbridge connected to the real Kingsbridge? Is this just a name that has been used, or is it a fictionalisation of a town with a roughly similar position or type? I have linked the town in the article, but am a little troubled by the lack of a link before - should some explanation be put? Stevebritgimp 05:52, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

It most definitely takes place in England; there is further information now in the article about the timeline of the book and events that took place that are particular to England's history. María (críticame) 15:56, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Most Frequently Challenged Books

This book is number 91 on the American Library Association's list of 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000.[1] Anybody have any information that could be added to the article why it is so controversial? Neil916 (Talk) 06:27, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
