Yet another Hiaasen novel, yet another blast of a read. Not a novel to read for detailed plotting or plausible storylines or subtlety of social commentary, but a novel that's worth reading in many ways because (not in spite) of that. It's amusing to work out which characters will come to spectacular, laughable bad ends, even if the details of those bad ends are often difficult to precisely predict. Hiaasen really loves Florida, and there are times when the things done to it make him really angry, and those are when his writing really shines. Also, you gotta love a novel that features a character who explicitly will not trust anyone who refuses a payoff.
