Ripping good Hiaasen -- the characters are more believable than usual, and I enjoyed the yarn

If it wasn't for BookCrossing, I don't think I would have ever picked up a book by this author..and that's too awful to even think about, as I find him to be very smart and funny. Thank you very much for this book Cpetersky!!!! :D

Whoah, this one got buried in MT TBR! Sorry!
Finished reading it last night. As usual, funny, entertaining, action packed and colourful characters. I like the first person narrative in this and the quirks of the main character.
Probably not his best book, but still a good one for fans and newcomers to this author's work.
Hiaasen use to write for newspapers so I dare say a lot of the main character's experiences at the nwspaper office that he works in, was gleaned from the author's own experiences.

Picked up at the Perth BC Meetup this morning. I've heard of Hiaasen, but never read any of it. On to the pile it goes :-)

Journal Entry 6 by KLL from Perth City, Western Australia Australia on Tuesday, January 26, 2010
I picked this up from a libertine's recommendation but really had no idea what to expect until I started reading it. I have to say though, I was pleasantly surprised and found this a fun and pretty engrossing read. Don't get me wrong, there were a few things that annoyed me. (without spoiling too much) I felt Jack's romantic storyline was the stuff of every middle aged man's fantasy and I was slightly irritated by it. There was a lot of repetition - particularly in rants about how the newspaper industry has suffered - fuelled I'm sure by hiassen's own newspaper credentials - and on more than one ocassion the foreshadowing was so heavy, hiassen's may as well have spelt what was going to happen out in bold. But despite that, this was a great holiday read and I'm going to now attempt to release it for other holiday makers to enjoy!
