S. J. Simmons

Wonderful Book with Glaring Narration Problem

Revisado: 01-03-19

This is fascinating story about the history of the everglades from the time of the earliest white settlers until the early 21st century. It's meticulously researched, well-written and interesting from beginning to end. The quotation from primary sources I found particularly helpful, as they provide a window into how people thought about South Florida over the last 250 years or so. The narrator, though, has likely never been to Florida - at least he's never heard the word "Kissimmee" (pronounced, "kis-SIM-mee) before. Throughout the entire book, he pronounces it as "Kissimminnee." It's terribly distracting, especially in the latter parts of the book where restoring the Kissimmee River becomes a major theme.
