Title: Excellent!
Review: I've been a fan of Randy Wayne White since I read Sanibel Flats and have eagerly anticipated every new book. The only unsuccessful book in the series was The Man Who Invented Florida, written in a Carl Hiaassen, Laurence Shames comedic style that never quite rang true. Mr. White has a superb prose style, both elegant and evocative. The characters are well rounded and sympathetic, the dialogue riveting. The references of other reviewers that Doc Ford is a sort of poor-man's Travis McGee, in my opinion, misses the mark. Ford is a far more complex character than Travis McGee, and the plots of the Doc Ford novels are far less formulaic. Every Travis McGee novel seemed to pit the hero against a man who, basically, was both tougher and smarter than McGee. Travis McGee always seemed to win out with a large helping of serendipity. The Mangrove Coast immediately grabs the reader and doesn't let go until the very end. Highly recommended.
