I never heard of this. I am a big Hiaasen fan for pure entertainment. I have to check it out.
It was actually how I discovered Hiaasen! I was a huge Dave Barry fan in high school, and he wrote a column about the book. Was also my first Elmore Leonard (though I'd heard of him), as well as Tananarive Due (who's a fantastic horror novelist, but was just a columnist at the time).
I do a lot of business in Florida, and I have had many family members living there over the years. I liked to grab a Hiaasen book when I was visiting. Very funny!
My wife's from South Florida, so I've enjoyed the books even more over the years. Another writer in the same niche (but a bit zanier) was the late Tim Dorsey.
I'm not familiar with him. I'll check him out for my next trip.
Yeah, this is a delight, as is the South Florida version that Dave Barry, Carl Hiaasen, Elmore Leonard, and bunch of others concocted, Naked Came the Manatee.
