Book Review: Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief
In
2002, Meryl Streep and Nicolas Cage starred in this inventive movie,
Adaptation which was loosely based on this book by Susan Orlean called
The Orchid Thief. Imagine, I found this book in an SM book bargain
bin!! That's what makes book browsing in these places really exciting!
Susan Orlean is so freaking lucky to have Meryl Streep play her in this
movie - and I love her writing style - loose and free, considering this
book is about orchids and the Florida swamp! It presents a side of
Florida so different from our postcard images of Disneyland in Orlando
or Cape Canaveral or the Latino vibrancy of Miami!
