Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The Keys are some of the most intriguing places overlooked on the tourist's headlong rush down U.S. 1 from Miami to Key West. Part-time Key West resident and fiction writer Williams enlivens the linear tour with side trips to such unlikely sites as the Bat Tower and the Big Torch Key scenic drive to nowhere. She devotes half the book to the big city, Key West, debunking many myths accepted as fact. Williams writes of the quirky things to see and do on the coral reefs and tropical streets, and the history of each Key is followed by the expected where to eat, drink, and sleep. As establishments come and go, so too do the natural elements on the Keys. Williams's prose encourages the reader to head for the Keys before things change too much. An excellent tourbook; recommended for public and academic libraries. Susan Hamburger, Florida State Univ. Lib., Tallahassee

Review
“One of the best guidebooks ever written.”—Condé Nast Traveler
“A magnificent, tragi-comic guide.”—Condé Nast Traveler
“From Key Largo to the Dry Tortugas, novelist Joy Williams has captured the local nuances of the Keys, providing a galaxy of information, including the history of each islet. Flora and fauna, gingerbread architecture and buried treasure—every hamlet, hangout, hotel and eatery is candidly appraised. There’s plenty to see and do in the Keys, and here’s the lowdown from a native.” —The Literate Traveller
“Interwoven with the tourist details are nature lore and historical nuggets guaranteed to change the way you look at the social and ecosystems of the Keys.”—BookPage
