Review
The famed Florida chronicler has done it again! Like Carl Hiaasen's other titles, this is all about trying to keep Florida pure; and if not simple, then at least ecologically acceptable for the local inhabitants. The novel is a heady mixture of murder and mayhem and political and other wrongdoings; the cast of twisted characters have names like Palmer Stoat and Twilly Spree. Sick Puppy is riotously funny and at the same time tackles serious issues: this is fictional muckraking at its best.
And whilst waiting for Mr Hiaasen's next novel of scandal and scandalous details in Florida, what about turning to Kick Ass
hbk £19.95, a collection of his selected journalism? - review by Rubio Lindroos
