Takes readers on a head-shaking romp through a south Florida that they wont find in any tourist brochure. . . . Hiaasens writing is fearless and the targets endless: politicians, municipal employees, judges, lobbyists, zoning boards, evangelists, athletic franchises, environmental scofflaws, Disney, the NRA, Big Tobacco. . . . Pulls no punches and keeps his sense of humor and outrage firmly intact.--Publishers Weekly These sharp, amusing pieces confirm Hiaasens status as a bird so rare--the humorous popular novelist with an acutely critical social perspective--that hes practically an endangered species.--Kirkus Reviews Along with Kick Ass, this is one of the best collections of occasional journalism published in recent years.--Booklist (starred review)About the Author:Bestselling author Carl Hiaasen has written Tourist Season, Strip Tease, Sick Puppy, Skinny Dip, and many other novels that have helped define Florida noir.
