First thing’s first, this is not what the cover of my Welcome to the U.S.A.: Florida book looks like, but it was neat how the author tried to make it sound more exciting rather than a typical book about travel facts. The pages were far too busy, though, and it ended very abruptly: “So how far can you spit a seed? Warning: Don’t try it in the house!” … This was the ending.
