Now, this was a fun read. Sure, Hiassen has things he wants to say about American culture, and Florida in particular, and he cares deeply about the environment and about corruption in government (though that very last isn't really at play in this novel) but really this is just varyingly exaggerated characters making their way through a nested tangle of criminal schemes and reality TV programming. It's maybe not as wacky as some of his very early novels, at least as I remember them, but it's funny and engaging, and the characters with clearer moral codes generally come through the novel better than those without.
