    Knowlton’s book is a deep dive into a wild period. A bit overwhelming with facts, but ultimately rewarding.

  2. Kartik Paul

    An okay book. It was informative. I just didn’t find it particularly captivating, though the topic is quite interesting.

  3. Rishabh

    A fascinating glimpse into a crazy time! Knowlton really brings the s Florida land boom to life. A bit dry at times, but overall a good read.

  4. Vishnuvardhan Veeravijaybabu Pinjala

    Excellent! Details the rise and fall of the market, great look into the roaring twenties.

  5. Anurag

    A solid historical account, but it could have benefited from more personal stories to make it more relatable.

    I found the details about the Everglades destruction very disturbing. Important but tough to get through.

    A must-read for anyone interested in Florida history! Knowlton does a great job of connecting the past to the present.

    The boom and bust of s Florida is vividly portrayed. It’s a cautionary tale about speculation and greed.

  9. Arijit Debnath

    I struggled to get through this book. It felt a bit repetitive and lacked a strong narrative drive.

    Well-researched and informative, but the writing style wasn’t always engaging. Still, I learned a lot about the era and its consequences.

    I was gripped from start to finish! The book is fascinating and so relevant to today’s world.

  12. Animesh Thapliyal

    Great book. The connections drawn between the Florida land boom and the Great Depression were insightful.

  13. Ayush Saini

    This book opened my eyes to a part of history I knew nothing about. Highly recommend!

  14. Abhijeet Kumar

    Enjoyable read about a forgotten piece of American history. The environmental aspect was particularly eye-opening. Could have used more character stories.

  15. Simarpreet Singh

    Excellent historical account! I couldn’t put it down. So many parallels to today’s market bubbles.

  16. Sanket Yuvraj Meshram

    This is a good account of Florida history. It’s a crucial story to tell. The pace could be faster.

  17. Anurag Kapoor

    While well researched the writing style wasn’t for me, it was too focused on details and didn’t bring the era to life for me.
