Carl Hiaasen isn't writing great literature, but he writes great reads that are always hysterically funny. Loathe to say more, but this is a raunchy, fun romp in and around Florida's Amazing Kingdom theme park. (For the non-fiction version, please read Hiaasen's TEAM RODENT: HOW DISNEY DEVOURS THE WORLD, which I still must read in its entirity.)
This book is being released from the confines of my personal collection destined as what I hope is a welcome surprise for another Book Crosser.

Received as an RABCK from ldpaulson (it hitched a ride across the Atlantic with a returning ring book). Thanks!
This is a very funny book, reminiscent of some of the works of Tom Sharpe and/or Ben Elton. I see that Hiaasen is an investigative journalist in Florida and think that his knowledge of the seamier side of life and of the state in question has been very-well deployed to his his writing of this amusing rollcoaster ride of mayhem...
I'm going to take this to the UK BookCrossing Unconvention in ten days so that it can continue it's journey. Thanks again for the RABCK!

Picked up at the Uncon.
An amusing book, with a lot of pokes at Disney. A perfect holiday read, although perhaps not if you're going to Florida.
