Not Hiaasen's best effort, but not a total flop, either. Reintroducing the character Chemo was a good move and made for some interesting (and funny) scenes. The overall plot line was a little weak, but was also a change from Hiaasen's usual eco-crusader theme, so points for a change of pace. Having Skink appear in the story was most of the reason I got the book - as a longtime fan, Skink is easily my favorite Hiaasen character. Sadly, however, his role was very limited and seemed like more of a hook to draw in readers than an integral part of the story. A fun quick read, but not good enough to add to my permanent collection.
