5.0 out of 5 stars Great for both the newcomer and lifelong Florida resident!, November 9, 2008

By	Lillian Trotz (Florida) - See all my reviews

I purchased this book shortly after my then-boyfriend (now husband) moved to Florida from Canada, just to present him with some ideas of interesting, non-traditional destinations we could visit. At the time, I was twenty-six, and being born and raised in Central Florida I assumed the book would be filled with minor attractions I was already familiar with.

I am happy to report that I couldn't have been more wrong! There were destinations that, while less than an hour's drive from where I lived, I had NEVER heard of - for instance, I had no idea there was a dude ranch so nearby, or that just a few towns over, there was a house that looked like a castle and was made entirely of old newspaper printing plates!

I grew up watching Channel 13 (who remembers when 13 was a CBS station before it was purchased by Fox?), and I have to hand it to them - they have managed to find some really cool places that most of us natives would never think to look for and would probably have never found on our own!

2.0 out of 5 stars Too basic, July 4, 2009

More smoke than meat... very basic, short descriptions of attractions. No background or specific about the things to see. Depending on your knowledge of the area it could provide some insight.

3.0 out of 5 stars It could be better...., February 22, 2009

We have seen some interesting places thanks to this book. However, there are several that shouldn't be listed as an attraction. Some aren't even worth "the tank" because the places are only active if the community has something going on. We were dissappointed in the book when it came to these places.

Just do your research on some of the places that you find questionable. Otherwise, it's a fun book.
