Detailed life of Johnny Carson. It is a sad story of him seeking acceptance and the isolation he creates.

This book had so much potential but was poorly written and I stopped after about a third of the book. I am not putting back on paperback swap. It's not worthy.

This book was not what I thought it would be but was a goood read irregardless. It is more of a rambling type journal from the author about not just orchids but about Florida in general. I learned a lot about the importing/stealing of exotic plants and the Seminole tribe in general. If you want something different, this is the book.
