The Man Who Invented Florida by Randy Wayne White

I picked this up because one of the reviews said he was like Carl Hiaasen. Now I love Hiaasen, so I had high hopes for this guy. Some of the elements were definitely there -- the people living in the mangroves, crazy people, hippies and environmentalists. But that is about where it ended. It did not flow very well and was not really all that enjoyable. There are lots of sub stories and history that you get bogged down in a bit. White has written many books since this one and maybe they flow better, if I can pick up another one for free I may see if it is any better. Even Terry is reading it now and is not very impressed.
