What is the setting of Going Bovine by Libba Bray?

There are numerous settings in the novel, Going Bovine. The book begins in Hildago, Texax, a small town. Cameron ends up as a patient at St. Jude's hospital and remains a patient there until his death at the end of the book. However, much of the book takes place in Cameron's mind as he travels the country on a quest. During the quest there are many small flashes of the hospital, but the real meat of the story does not actually take place there. The hospital is just the place where Cameron's physical body and family are.

As Cameron and Gonzo undertake their quest to find Dr. X and save the universe, they are provided with experiences in many different settings. They go from Hildago, Texas to New Orleans, Louisiana, to Mississippi, to Hope, Georgia, to Daytona, Florida and finally to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Each place on the way has it's own setting which helps to develop the plot and characters. In New Orleans, the boys enter a jazz night club and are exposed to new ideas and music. In Mississippi they attend a house party and find the gnome Balder. Along a rural road they meet a team of scientists and in Georgia, Cameron begins to understand that wishes aren't always granted in the exact way the wisher intended. Florida provides them with the biggest changes in plot and character when the setting is a televised house party.
