Book Reviews of Nature Girl
Book Review: Carl, What Happened Here?
Summary: 2 Stars
A novel with a plot as weak as broth & a very predictable ending. It took 2/3 of the book to build up to what appeared to be some substance. That story substance never really happened. Hiassen has his group of misfits play out on an isolated island in the Everglades. Different lives somehow cleverly wind up there & become enmeshed in the manic plot set up by the OCD heroine, Honey Santana. Honey seeks to educate a bothersome telemarketer; more or less teach him a lesson. The island becomes over-run with misfits.
The quirky characters may have worked well in "Strip Tease". Here, the descriptions of their quirky lives is humorous, but they don't have much of a story to support them. They become tedious.
The deeper human side of the cast comes out. I believe that was the author's intention. Some parts were humorous which gained this 2 stars, rather than one. The most entertaining part for me was I read the unedited version before the mass produced novel was made. Save your time and money on this one. There's plenty of other good novels out there.
I was really surprised a NY Times Bestseller was this bad.
