Reviews for The Great Book of Florida: The Crazy History of Florida with Amazing Random Facts & Trivia

f could have a $100 for each time Donald Trump has ever used the phrase Make America Great Again, I might have been independently wealthy today. But since this is not going to happen, I guess I'm not going to be. The thing is, that as Americans we already know America is already, barring some of the day to day situations we experience, GREAT today. Author Bill O'Neill, in his inimitable way of writing by using trivia, has already shown us why California, Texas and my home state of New York is already great today. And this time he's directing our attention to the great state of Florida. In each of the six chapters this book contains: 1- Florida's History 2- Florida's Pop Culture 3- Florida's Attractions 4- Florida's Inventions, Ideas and More 5- Florida's Biggest Haunts, Supernatural and Other Weird Facts 6- Florida's Sports Mr. O'Neill begins each chapter by taking an item regarding its topic and gives his readers a brief, yet informative description of about it, this is followed by some random facts, which is then culminated by his giving some questions related to the information which the chapter has just given, naturally the answers are given as well. All in all, this book is a wonderful compendium of informational trivia, from the simplistic to the interesting to the amazing, trivia which should be quite interesting to anyone who reads it. So, in the end, with all things consider, for wanting to share the information he's gathered with everyone who reads it, I'm happy to give Mr. O'Neill the 5 STARS he's gotten from this reviewer. by Robin Leigh Morgan ----- I am a Floridian, and The Great Book of Florida: The Crazy History of Florida with Amazing Random Facts & Trivia (A Trivia Nerds Guide) really covers about anything anyone would care to know about our great (and sometimes quirky) state. I worked for Walt Disney World when they opened, in October, 1971, and I learned many new things about Disney. I really enjoyed this e-book, and would highly recommend it to anyone who has any connection with, or interest in Florida. by Ted Meberg ----- As an addicted to Trivia, I find the Great Book of Florida very informative and useful. You will learn and understand the most relevant historical, geographic, cultural, and cool facts about this beautiful state. It is well organized, very fun, and easy to read. by joaquin pena
