I've been living in Florida for about nine years. This book is a great book it has many facts that as a homeschool education/student we didn't know. A great book to review with your teens if you homeschool or just moved to Florida and want to know stories that are awesome and some horrible happenings. Thank You for the opportunity in reviewing this book. (  ) VictoriaNarvaez | Aug 30, 2018 | This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. There are trivia lovers who love books like this. It feeds their need for inconsequential knowledge that can be shown off. While this book will interest them, I see the book more as a travel guide for vacationers visiting the State of Florida. The trivial facts come from every region of the State and made me want to explore the areas spoken about. While I’ve lived in Florida for 38 years, I did know many of the bared facts and had visited the areas discussed. But there are many more that I didn’t know about and now wish to explore.I think that this book is a must-read for vacationers planning a trip to Florida. It shows the traveler that there is more to the State’s rich history than beaches and theme parks. Bill O’Neill’s book guides you to this other Florida that isn’t as well known. ( ) ronploude | Aug 28, 2018 | This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. If could have a $100 for each time Donald Trump has ever used the phrase “Make America Great Again,” I might have been independently wealthy today. But since this is not going to happen, I guess I’m not going to be.The thing is, that as Americans we already know America is already, barring some of the day to day situations we experience, GREAT today. Author Bill O’Neill, in his inimitable way of writing by using trivia, has already shown us why California, Texas and my home state of New York is already great today. And this time he’s directing our attention to the great state of Florida. In each of the six chapters this book contains: 1- Florida’s History 2- Florida’s Pop Culture 3- Florida’s Attractions 4- Florida’s Inventions, Ideas and More 5- Florida’s Biggest Haunts, Supernatural and Other Weird Facts 6- Florida’s Sports Mr. O’Neill begins each chapter by taking an item regarding its topic and gives his readers a brief, yet informative description of about it, this is followed by some random facts, which is then culminated by his giving some questions related to the information which the chapter has just given, naturally the answers are given as well. All in all, this book is a wonderful compendium of informational trivia, from the simplistic to the interesting to the amazing, trivia which should be quite interesting to anyone who reads it. So, in the end, with all things consider, for wanting to share the information he’s gathered with everyone who reads it, I’m happy to give Mr. O’Neill the 5 STARS he’s gotten from this reviewer.
