Book Reviews of Sick Puppy
Book Review: Too crude
Summary: 2 Stars
This book was chosen by my book club. Our goal was to read something that would make us laugh because we had just read several deep, gut wrenching books in a row. Although the language was raw, it did not turn me off as much as the portrayal of the "twin" Barbies and the treatment of the animals. Did I laugh? I have to admit that I did multiple times. I also admired what Hiaasen was trying to do for Florida (my second favorite state) but the crudity left me with an aftertaste I found hard to get rid of.Book Review: Too much sex, too much violence, too little plot!
Summary: 2 Stars
The plot of Sick Puppy, when there was one, was fantastic and fun to read. Unfortunately, this made up only about 40% of the novel. The rest was sex and graphic violence (way too many characters were run over by bulldozers.) There can be some of this in a book, but there was just too much in this one. IF however, lots of sex and graphic violence doesn't bother you, I recommend the book simply to read about Twilly Spree and his anger management issues.Book Review: Very Entertaining
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great story that has tons of twists and turns. I couldn't put this one down. I loved the characters. Everyone was so colorful and entertaining. I enjoyed the political side too.Book Review: Want to chuckle? Have a lobbyist for a friend?
Summary: 4 Stars
My first Carl Hiaasen novel, picked up as a fluke. Couldn't put it down. Throughly entertaining AND thought provoking.Book Review: What a hoot!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's no secret to my friends that I am a HUGE Hiaasen fan. This is my favorite book of all time. If you are a dog lover, an environmentalist, hate southern politics, like bizarre characters or just plain like to laugh out loud, then buy this book. I only wish Hiaasen would visit Guam, he would have plenty of character inspiration.
