Book Reviews of Sick Puppy
Book Review: What a let down
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the fifth Hiaasen book I read and I was really disappointed. I had to force myself to get to the end. The 'heros' in this book were just not likable. I found myself rooting for the so called bad guys by the end. Karl is a great satirist but this book was just to preachy. This Hoot on steroids. He needs to stick to more light-hearted fare like he did with Basket Case (that was one of the best books I've ever read) or Strip Tease.Book Review: fast paced and strangely good!
Summary: 3 Stars
This was the first Hiaasen novel I have read, and it was not at all what I had expected. I thought it would be good, but never imagined a story involving an eco-terrorist, a real estate developer with a Barbie fetish, a hit man whose hobby is listening to 911 calls on tape, an ex-car salesman turned Florida governor, a political lobbyist with a passion for Republicans, a confused young wife of the lobbyist abd a former governor of Florida named Skink who refuses to compromise his beliefs and a sick Lab puppy that you just have to love. Carl Hiaasen is the only author capable of wrapping a leash around all these people and taking a brisk walk successfully.
