A Land Remembered Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This was a thoroughly engaging book for me, but I love stories of old Florida. Much like Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings book, The Yearling, this work of historical fiction, describes the early days of rustic, undeveloped Florida, replete with palmettos, cypress trees, swamps, and loads of wildlife. "

" I LOVE the history but wish he had made the characters more personal... I felt like they were just there to carry out the story and I wasn't particularly emotionally connected to them. "

" This was a wonderful book!I couldn't put it down! A rich tale of Florida Cracker history. A Land Remembered was winner of the Florida Historical Society Tebeau Prize as the Most Outstanding Florida Historical Novel. "

" This book was recomended to me and I have to say that I really enjoyed reading about my home state. It never occured to me how hard it was for people to habitat this state in its wild and unseen before splendor. I would suggest anyone read this book about a families struggles and love for a land they loved. "

" Interesting fiction account of Florida from the early native years to the present land grabbers. Good read for a novel, but a fiction nonetheless. "

" This is a lovely story...especially for any one who is or has lived in Florida! It follows 3 generations that helped cultivate the state! You will fall in love with these families! "

" Here are three generations of the MacIvey family, from dirt-poor Crackers to wealthy real estate tycoons. Rich, rugged history of Florida's pioneer spirit. "

" Great story, great characters, great historical fiction. I live in Florida now, and I love it. What a gift, to learn so much about this very special state! "

" This is one of my all time favorite books. A great historical fiction account of life in Florida in the early days. "

" Great story of life in central Florida in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Lots of history and a good story line. "

" Read it when I was a teen and will read again! "

" One of my top 5 books. "

" This is a really great book with so much Florida history. It's about a fictional family that moved to Florida in the 1800's before it was developed. It was nothing but marsh, swamp, and natives. Very good. "

" This book was and is the most enjoyable book ive read so far. its full of detail and real life struggles of the earlyer residents in the state of florida i reccomend this book to ANY reader. "

" I'm from Florida, so this book was sooo cool to get a glimpse at what old Florida looked like starting pre-civil war. "

" Wonderful fiction about the history of Florida from early settlers and Indians to modern day. The events and characters stay with you long after you have read the final page. Makes you see Florida in a whole new light. So good, I would read it again. "

" I HATED THIS BOOK!!!!!!! I would have skipped it had I had the choice, but it was summer reading. It was all about 3 generations of people dying in the Florida wilderness. URRRRGGGGG! It was so long and had practically no plot line whatsoever. I will NEVER read it again!!!! "

" Written to a lower reading level (middle school), but a quick read that definitely kept my interest, especially living in Florida. It's basically Florida historical fiction, with an environmental theme. Makes me grateful that the Everglades were actually saved from massive development and expansion. "

" A great story and interesting history of Florida, but not particularly well written. "

" Being a Floridian for 45 of my 59 years, this is truly one of the best books I have ever read! Amazing how when reading, could picture exactly the places described. Now my husband who is 4th generation Florida is reading it! "

" I had to read this book in high school and can still remember how good it was! I plan on rereading it this summer to refresh my mind on all of the details. "

" And yet more proof that I really like reading historical fiction. I loved this book. It was a very easy and interesting read. Short chapters. The end was good and then the author added one more paragraph of only 2 sentences and made it amazing! "

" One of the best books I've ever read.... a must read for all Floridians!! "

" Read this in High School. Loved it for its historial richness. Great story! Long book. "

" It was a good representation of Florida's history, which is why it earned two stars. Based solely on the writing and the story, it doesn't deserve a single star. I don't know how this book got published and I wonder even more where the editors were. "

" Great book about old Florida. "
