Excellent book. This type of book would not usually get a second look from me if I saw it on the shelf but I saw an interview on TV with the author and decided to check out his work. I found this book humorous and a real page turner. I can't wait to check out more of his books.

In this Florida-focused book, the real Hiaasen-variety fun begins! Take one Palmer Stoat, one of Florida's cockiest and most powerful political fixers, and mix in Twilly Spree, an idealistic, independently wealthy man with a hair-trigger temper! Naturally fireworks must follow; Spree tails Sproat with vengeance on his mind after a decidedly "un-green" event of Sproat's making. Things escalate, to sum it up in this brilliantly twisted entertainment, which is wrapped around a powerful ecological plea. Outrageously funny!

What a wonderful book! My first Hiaasen and what a great start! I have since read another and plan to read them all. I would highly recommend it to those who like modern comic writing with quirky characters and plot twists.

I like this author but this book has a bit too much animal abuse in it for my taste. I finished the book but there were parts that were a little hard for me to read. I have read, and will read, more by this authour but hopefully won't encounter much more of that.
