This is different than Hiaason's other work, but certainly keeps you on the edge. I recommend this book without reservation.

This was written in 1984, apparently a joint effort. While not as irreverent and Floridian as Mr. Hiassen's more recent work, it is a good story (a proverbial page-turner), and well worth the reader's time!

Not what I was expecting after reading many of Hiaasen's Florida-focused books, but turned out to be an enjoyable read.

If this was the first Hiaasen book I'd ever read I wouldn't pick up another one. This was so bad I wanted the toss it across the room before I was into the 5th chapter. Not possible since it is in my iPad. What a bunch of blather. The plot was a good idea but it was subsumed beneath a pile of smarmy cliched overworkes phrasing and pointless side stories. All I can say after slogging through it it "Booo! Boooo!"

Carl, I have thoroughly enjoyed every book YOU wrote. Thanks, but this is awful, and an embarassment. Why would you ruin your reputation for such a pethetic attempt at a novel? Shame on you.

I don't know what possesses a writer to allow someone else to write a book then climb on the real author's reputation. Money, I guess. At least others have done it with a collaborator with a similar style. I bought this book because I have enjoyed Carl's past books immensely, and I thought this one would contain elements of his style and humor. Instead, it reads like some high school attempt. It is just awful. Carl, you should be ashamed. Some people have integrity, some just want to make a little scratch. I can understand that, but this one taught me a lesson.
