Chapter 1[]
- pg 7
- When Mike identifies his wife's body at the morgue, it says that her eyes were closed. But later (Ch 13, pg 215), when he makes love to his wife in his "triple-dream", it says that one of her pupils were larger than the other, like it had been, when he had seen it on the monitor at the morgue.
- pg 21
- Mike recalls that he and Joe had added a studio on to Sara Laughs. According to Mikes later thoughts, the only visible addition from his and Jo's owner period is a "...tiny DSS dish mounted on the central roofpeak." (Ch 3, pg 38).
Chapter 9[]
- pg 122
- Mike compares Max Devore's daughters looks to those of the person in Edvard Munch's painting "The Cry". While the Munch's most famous work is "The Scream", most documentation on the painting does note that it is sometimes refereed to as "The Cry". There is also reportedly a lesser known -and very similar- black and white sketch by Munch that is titled "The Cry", though I have not been able to verify this yet.
- This error is debatable, but I'm including it. Each reader can decide for him/herself if it is a true blooper / goof.

- It says that the crowd in the dream Mike had, parted as if they were all magnetic, and that he and Ki were positives, while the people around them were negatives. How do magnets work?
