Book Reviews of Sick Puppy
Book Review: A Fun Romp
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book. 4-1/2 stars.
Hiaasen creates great characters that leap off the page and into your lap. The best word I can find to describe this book is a romp: through the sordid politics, crime, backroom deals, real estate development scams, and corruption of Florida. This is not a "serious" book; it's a page-turner. However, within his light-hearted, funny, sad, money-addled view of Florida, Hiaasen does have some serious points to make.
This is my first Hiaasen novel (I've bought more since). The book to which I would most closely compare Sick Puppy is Edward Abbey's The Monkey Wrench Gang. In subject, style, and message, they are close parallels. Both are excellent.
Enjoy!
