Bubba Justice in Key West should be madatory for anyone planning to move to the Keys. It covers many of the actions of the Monroe County Government and its employees that have been perpetrated on the unbelieving residents of the Florida Keys. Some stories will make you laugh, most will make you cry when you see the absolute stupidity that passes for doing business in the county.

I own and read Bubba Justice and can say that it is a true depiction of life in Key West. Because I am a 4th generation Conch, lived there all my life and was one of the "victims" in the book I had a marked interest in the subject matter. It is well-written, accurate at least as to my story, humorous at times, disturbing at others but believable. The only "Bubbas" that are laughing have not yet been "tried in the Bubba Courts."

This book does not truly follow through on its promise. It is poorly written and must have been vastly entertaining to the powers that be. You can get more out of a John Leslie or Laurence Shames mystery as to the workings of Bubbaville than from this book.

As a Key West resident of over 10 years, and loving the book, I am buying 3 more copies! Actually, the book is more about Monroe County & City government than just about Key West. Everyone moving to the Keys should be required to read this book, to prevent cultural shock. I hope there is going to be a Part 2! Mr. Burch, PLEASE send a copy to Governor Bush and to Bill O'Reilly of the O'Reilly Factor. There are plenty of more victims, and no relief in sight.

I have not read this book , but as a former resident of Key West this book's title made me laugh out loud!!
I cannot count how many times I witnessed the Bubbas in action!!
Well , I guess it is a comfort to know -what goes around , comes around!!

Five Stars for the person who had the courage to write this and I hope to God, if you are living in Monroe County that you remain anonymous, although I am sure this would be impossible considering that your book is No. 1 in Key West!!
