Old Town by the Sea A Pictorial History of New Smyrna Beach Book

I don't know if its because I had to read this book for a class and I don't like force reading, but this book was terrible. Terrible. So boring!!!!! For my class I had to "read" this book in order to write essay assignments, so I began the semester diligently keeping up with the reading and working on my outline of the book. But it got to the point where I found myself dreading reading this so much (bc it's so dryly written) that I just abandoned the book and did the essays with other primary sources. The book is completely unengaging with dully written, if any, sport anecdotes. The history was simply - and BRIEFLY - listed. So for a book that fails in the engaging department, you'd think it would succeed in thoroughly retelling the whole Olympics history, but no! Most of the events only have one or two paragraphs dedicated to them, and the events are simply stated, without going in depth with interesting recollections or anything. My mind just associates this book with dryness, and I am happy to not have to pick it up again!
