"Sun Hunting" by Kenneth L. Roberts is a funny exploration of the different groups of people who go to Florida to escape the cold winters up north. Roberts takes a witty approach to describing the lives of the rich folks in fancy places like Palm Beach who are just trying to pass the time, and compares them to others who are searching for comfort in the sun. Roberts' book points out the strange habits and behaviors of these groups, showing how they live and act in this sunny place; he shares amusing stories about their adventures, giving readers a peek into their lives amidst the warm, lively setting of Florida.
