Summary:
In the vibrant style that characterizes his fiction and poetry, James W. Hall proves his mastery over the essay form as he ponders subjects as diverse as his own love affair with Florida to his equally passionate romance with books, television, teaching, politics, fatherhood, and much more.
Notes:
"This is a sometimes funny, sometimes moving, always engrossing collection of essays exploring life in the nation's least normal state. James Hall has the eye of a novelist and the soul of a poet, and he uses both beautifully to reveal Florida in all its wonder and weirdness."--David Barry.

or the number of good reviews divided by the total number of reviews.
