4.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative descriptions, August 31, 2008

By

I borrowed this book from an old friend who, like myself, was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale. We are both Medicare age now, and we can remember when it was a small town. There was a lot of undeveloped land, still wild and difficult to traverse, not only out to the west, but east all the way to the beach and Port Everglades. This book centered around individuals and their daily lives, but I was drawn in through the vivid descriptions of the land and waterways the mailman had to navigate from Palm Beach to Miami. I remembered many of those areas, and the author carried me along as though I were with him. An easy read, I think you will enjoy this book especially if you are from there or are familiar with the area as it is today.

This review is from: The Barefoot Mailman (Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book as I live on the Florida Treasure Coast. It is fun to read and can be a great book for someone that does not have the patience to tackle a 300 page book.
