This is not a book for serious reading. But I loved the pace and the writing by the author telling the story. It was very entertaining. Sometimes you just need an entertaining, humorous book. Thank you

Everything by Hiaasen is terrific. One of my favorite authors.

Not his best, but a good read nonetheless.

An amusing book to be sure. There was romance in this book, but it was very low-key, the main plot being revenge. Since this is a light book, I didn't expect much character growth, but there is - surprisingly - a couple. Behind the humor…

From the first splash to the last mosquito slap, Carl Hiaasen once again takes readers on a romping tale of inept bad guys, soul-less businessmen, women in distress and other quirky characters that leave you shaking your head and asking,…
