Journal Entry 1 by Lisa-B on Monday, August 9, 2004
"Carl Hiaasen's characters ride and flail on little verbal hurricanes, and his literary storm shows no signs of dying down. Sick Puppy shares Dave Barry's giddy gift for finding humor in South Florida horrors, and a bit of Elmore Leonard's genius for pitch-perfect dialogue spouted smartly by criminals who are dumb as stumps. The title of Hiaasen's eighth novel could apply to most of its characters, but it chiefly refers to an ebullient Labrador retriever named Boodle and the millionaire eco-terrorist Twilly Spree. Let's just say that Twilly has a singular affliction: poor anger management in the face of environmental irresponsibility. When he spots Boodle's owner, Palmer Stoat, tossing litter from a car, Twilly goes to Stoat's home and removes the glass eyeballs from the animals that the bloated lobbyist had shot and mounted on his walls. Boodle gulps down the eyeballs, sustaining no small amount of digestive difficulties." from amazon.com

The actual copy is a UK trade PB edition and has a different cover.
Part of my permanent collection, but free to travel occasionally!

Hhhhmm, also ich weiss gar nicht so recht, was ich über dieses Buch schreiben soll... irgendwie fand' ich es nicht schlecht, ich habe aber irgendwie dennoch nie richtig den Zugang gefunden und hatte mir mehr versprochen-- es mag daran liegen, dass ich es nur sehr "verhackstückelt" gelesen habe. Trotzdem noch mal vielen Dank für's Ausleihen!
