Tampa Tribune ~ Florida
"It is a chilling realistic account of the hurricane that swept away about 3,000 people to their deaths."

Florida Sun-Sentinel ~ Florida
Miami Herald ~ Florida

"Mykle brings to life the characters, ... and draws us in to witness their deaths.   We feel an impluse to reach for their hands as they're being swept away."

Glaveston Daily News ~ Texas
Orlando Sentinel ~ Florida

"Killer ' Cane: The Deadly Hurricane of 1928 paints a picture of nature's terrible immensity that's the stuff of nightmares."

Winchester Star ~ Virginia
Register ~ New Jersey
Manassas Messenger ~ Virginia
Reston Times ~ Virginia
Tallahassee Democrat ~ Florida
Sarasota Herald-Tribune ~ Florida

"as recently as last year tractorsplowing the fields were turning up human bones."

Atlanta Journal-Constitution ~ Georgia
"This is a solidly researched, engagingly written snapshot of Florida."

The Ledger ~ Florida
"Through Mykle's words ... the tragedy becomes personal."

Patriot Ledger ~ Massachusetts
Palm Beach Post ~ Florida

"Mykle tells this saga of epic destruction with short episodes that gradually grow together, like cross-cutting scenes in a movie.
The approach, and the book, both work well.  Florida history is the better for Mykle's book."

Detroit Free-Press ~ Michigan
Citizens News ~ Texas
Richmond Times-Dispatch ~ Virginia
Chicago Tribune ~ Illinois

"When, a few pages into Killer 'Cane Mykle writes that hurricanes "were a distant, ominous threat churning in the Atlantic and killing hundreds of people in foreign countries where they didn't even speak english.  Surely us Americans were safe," you know they're goners.  If you read this fast paced book, you'll have a hard time forgetting (it)."

The Virginian-Pilot ~ Virginia
