Finished this the other night - it was pretty good, not my favorite of his so far though.
Thanks for sending it along!

Edit: My apologies for holding this up for so long - life went out of control for a while there... Thank you for your patience!

This book showed up in my mailbox today:) I should finish my current read no later than tomorrow and should be able to start this right away. Thanks for sharing.

7/4/08 dnsvn picked this book up at a thrift store and asked to be skipped.

7/5/08 I never really got into this book. The first half seemed like I was going around in circles and couldn't figure out where it was going. The second half of the book seemed like it was drug out way longer than it should have been. I can't totally blame Mr. Hiaasen, it has been a long crazy week for me, non the less, I was happy to finish this one!
Book will be on its way to bsliv1219 in a couple of days.

I received the book in the mail yesterday. I am on vacation with the group home (work) kids this week, so it will be next week before I even attempt to read it!. I have loved other books by Carl Hiaasen, especially Skinny Dip, so I'm looking forward to reading this one.

Thanks, southernfryed, for the tea. I'm looking forward to that too.

I reread much of this book. As soon as I started it I realized I had already read it! I enjoyed it very much. I am going to send it off to babsdotter on Thursday.

Somewhat amusing, and definitely in accordance with environmental green issues, but this isn't really a mystery.

I can’t get enough of Hiaasen! This was another of his hilarious satires - full of wacky characters that inhabit South Florida. I think this is about the 7th Hiaasen I have read and I would rank this with his best. (Others I have read include Tourist Season, Double Whammy, Strip Tease, Lucky You, Skin Tight, Nature Girl). This novel is one of his most direct assaults on developers wrecking havoc on the Florida environment. The targets include the amusement parks such as Sea World and Disney but he also takes shots at phone sex operators and their clients, steroid-pumped bodybuilders, and extreme animal lovers and birdwatchers. Hiaasen again came up with some great characters including the ex-Mafia snitch who owned a Disney-like amusement park, the bodybuilder security guard who gnawed off his own foot to free himself from a car parked on it, the senior citizen lady environmentalist who doesn’t hesitate to shoot whoever disagrees with her, and the ex-Florida governor who lives in the Florida wilderness and wears a dead panther’s tracking collar! The book also had a few celebrity guest appearances – I laughed out loud when Willard Scott was interviewing Robbie Raccoon at the amusement park and told him he was a little overweight. Robbie responded: “Look who’s talking, lardass.” Overall, a very high recommendation for this one.

This will be on its way back to bksfamly soon to complete this bookring. Thanks again for sharing this one!
