I love Hiassen—his sense of humor is wicked. In this tale of the Florida Everglades, his cast of odd characters ranges from a mother with NO tolerance for rudeness, her 12-year old son who is much wiser than his years, a telemarketer and his girlfriend, and a Seminole trying to escape from the dangers of white society, not to mention college kids, religious cultists, an ex-drug runner, and a wacko seafood baron. They all end up on Dismal Key. As usual, plenty of laugh-out-loud writing and weirdness. Hiaasen’s books are not for the faint at heart. And he can’t write ‘em fast enough for me.
