Seller's Description:
Fair. This copy has clearly been enjoyed-expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover. Binding is strong and all pages are legible. May contain previous library markings or stamps.
Wry wacky characters, probably taken from real life examples of South Florida behavior.

Slick in a 1970s Way
My only objection is that the language is not literary. If the reader is interested in action, exaggeration of character types, a tongue-in-cheek kind of humor, then this book is fine.

Zowie! What a Read!
Hiaasen's debut and still one of my all-time favorite novels, here Carl introduces us into his quirky view of modern-day Florida and one of the most original ways in which to dispose of a body in modern fiction. A career journalist, Hiaasen knows how to keep a story moving forward and you won't be disappointed if you like your fiction fast-paced. Hiaasen's stories are hilarious, his cast of characters oddballs to say the least. If you're a fan of Randy Wayne White or Elmore Leonard, you're in for a real treat. This book will convert you into a life-long Hiaasen fan, so you might as well buy them all now......
