Most average Florida experience. 

A great read for the most part, definitely a great concept. After a while the descriptions of intense violence got boring. Surely, in a situation like this, there would be groups of people helping eachother survive. Ending kind of ended in a dud for me.

I fear I didn’t understand most of it but it still rocked.

3.0

Incredibly informative, if a bit wordy. Definitely re-opened my eyes a bit about how history books are also biased. (Even if they are 800 pages.)  A bit odd that the author doesn’t specify tribes when discussing the Native American Spirits in the play, but hey what do I know? I am also struggling to see how this could be performed.

Definitely the longest book in human existence. Far too many characters to keep up with but had some interesting points.

Benji is the epitome of that “Aren’t you tired of being nice? Don’t you just wanna go apeshit?” And I love that for him. I hope he and Nick kiss forever and ever.
