cchan_reads 's review for:
The Orchid Thief
by Susan Orlean
The parts about Laroche, orchids, and time spent in the Fakahatchee were interesting and well written, but there wasn't enough of it. I thought there was too much random material about the fauna and flora of Florida and stories about smuggling wildlife (non-related to orchids). There were a lot of facts thrown in throughout the book which made me wonder how they were all related. I wanted to learn more about the orchid world, but a lot of the info seemed to brush the tip of a subject before moving onto another. Good to read if you want to learn more about the wildlife of this area in Florida in general but not if you want to learn more about orchids.
