Book Reviews of Sick Puppy
Book Review: Enjoyable
Summary: 4 Stars
Very enjoyable.
Not the best literature I have ever read, but very entertaining and well worth a read.
Book Review: Fresh
Summary: 3 Stars
This was a fresh change for me and mostly good fun. The author has a terrific imagination and had me laughing out loud a few times. It concerns a one-man eco-terrorist, named Twilly Spree and how he bites off more than he can chew when he stops going after individuals and starts going after corporations/governers. It seemed to take a while to get going because the author has a lot of 'setting up' to do at the start, I'd recommend perservering. Now and again the author overdoes things, like with a two-legged ocelot and even with the main characters name, but I willed the suspension of disbelief; it is, after all, meant to be lunacy.Book Review: Fun moments, but I feel cheated
Summary: 2 Stars
This book started so well. It grabbed me right out of the gate, it made me laugh, and it kept me turning the pages. But in the end, I felt ripped off. Not a single major character changed throughout the course of the story.
When I read a book, I want to see the main character grow; or at least learn something about themselves or the world around them. 450 pages is a lot of space for an author to make that happen. But, based on where all of the primary characters in this story wound up, the book could have just as well ended after the first scene.
Book Review: Gotta Love Carl and Skink!
Summary: 5 Stars
Another great book from Carl Hiaasen. This is the best brain candy I can find, have read all of his books and looking forward to the next. Thanks, Carl!Book Review: Great florida read
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first Hiaasen book that I read and I was immiadetely hooked on. It is light and funny and describes Florida in way that only Hiaasen can- blunt but with many true facts. It is a book that you can read on the beach and really relax and laugh aloud. Full of interesting caracters that make the plot and not vice versa. Enjoy it.
