As a avid reader of Carl Hiaasen, this book was either written by Montalbano and Hiassen slapped his name on it, or Hiassen has given in to writing a book out of obligation. There is no comparison of style and creativity to his previous books. This book was plain boring. Since the author has chosen to put his name on this book I will not be tricked into reading books that have his name on them in the future. Hiaasen has soiled his unique, smart, comical, and engaging style he's known for. Totally "mailed it in".

found it a little hard to get interested but soon realized were the story was going.Turned out that it was hard to stop reading

Old co-written novel from 1981. Not terrible, but also not what we have come to expect from Hiaasen.

While interesting, it is not laugh out loud funny. Being Carl Hiassen you keep waiting to laugh. Not his best book I am afraid.

Carl's young cheek writing about FL characters, society and adventure are superior entertainment.
