From the box..."Meet twenty-two-year-old Cherry Pye (nee Cheryl Bunterman), a pop star since she was fourteen--and about to attempt a comeback from her latest drug-and-alcohol disaster. Now meet Cherry again: in the person of her "undercover stunt double," Ann DeLusia. Ann portrays Cherry whenever the singer is too "indisposed"--meaning wasted-- to go out in public. And it is Ann-mistaken-for-Cherry who is kidnapped from a South Beach hotel by obsessed paparazzo Bang Abbott. The challenge for Cherry's handlers is to rescue Ann while keeping her existence a secret from Cherry's public--and from Cherry herself."

My thoughts...I have always enjoyed Hiaasen's books and his zany cast of characters. I was not disappointed. We have the return of one of my favorite characters from previous novels, Skink aka "The Governor", along with some other quirky characters like Chemo, the bodyguard with a weed whacker prostesis on his arm. As in previous novels, there is an environmental issue being addressed, but in a fun not preachy way.

Passing on to Aberpeter while she is visiting.

thank you dabercro

Sometimes I wonder what Carl Hiassen is smoking when he writes his books - who else could think of the wacky characters and situations? Regardless of his state of mind when he writes, Carl Hiaasen is a genius with off-the-wall comedy and his stories never disappoint.
