Just What We Need Now
Thank you, Carl Hiaasen. I forgot how wonderful it feels to laugh out loud while reading a book. The usual suspects are here: loony Florida characters, political satire, corruption, and snappy snappy dialogue. The main characters are sassy and sexy — I have already cast a Holly Hunter type for Angie. Just read it. It’s a good time, full of beautiful description, a tight plot, and unpredictable twists. Hiassen is following in the footsteps of the great political satirists who served their country by poking holes in the bloated nonsense created by the rich, powerful, and stupid — sometimes all in one.
