Extractions: Buy the Book Listen to a clip from the Random House Audiobook Read Carl Hiaasen's hilarious new novel, SICK PUPPY Brilliantly twisted entertainment wrapped around a powerful ecological plea, Sick Puppy is Hiaasen at his riotous and muckraking best. When Palmer Stoat notices the black pickup truck following him on the highway, he fears his precious Range Rover is about to be carjacked. But Twilly Spree, the man tailing Stoat, has vengeance, not sport-utility vehicles, on his mind. Idealistic, independently wealthy and pathologically short-tempered, Twilly has dedicated himself to saving Florida's wilderness from runaway destruction. He favors unambiguous political statementssuch as torching Jet-Skis or blowing up banksthat leave his human targets shaken but re-educated. After watching Stoat blithely dump a trail of fast-food litter out the window, Twilly decides to teach him a lesson. Thus, Stoat's prized Range Rover becomes home to a horde of hungry dung beetles. This could have been the end, had Twilly not discovered that Stoat is one of Florida's cockiest and most powerful political fixers, whose latest project is the "malling" of a pristine Gulf Coast island. Now the real Hiaasen-variety fun begins . . . Dognapping eco-terrorists, bogus big-time hunters, a Republicans-only hooker, an infamous ex-governor who's gone back to nature, thousands of singing toads and a Labrador retriever greater than the sum of his Labrador parts these are only some of the denizens of Carl Hiaasen's outrageously funny new novel.

Extractions: By no means great literature, Hiaasen is one of the best entertainment/humor novelists out there. With "Sick Puppy" I think he has reached the top of his powers. In it, all of his world is perfected without the need for him to go back to the tried and true journalist/editor dynamic. Twilly Spree is too good for that. Does anyone know what people in Florida think of Hiaasen and do you think Florida election rigging would be a subject right up his Hawaii-print sleeve for a future book?

Extractions: Skin Tight Genre Novel (319 pp.) Keywords Body Self-Image Caregivers Disability Homicide ... Surgery Summary The strange cast of characters in this satirical detective thriller includes most prominently, Dr. Rudy Graveline, a hack plastic surgeon trying to cover up the "accidental" death of a patient during a rhinoplasty procedure four years prior to the start of action. "One of the wondrous things about Florida, Rudy Graveline thought as he chewed on a jumbo shrimp, was the climate of unabashed corruption: There was absolutely no trouble from which money could not extricate you . . . Since the medical board was made up mostly of other doctors, Rudy Graveline had fully expected exoneration physicians stick together like shit on a shoe." (p.95) Doctors, however, are not the only profession slammed by the author. Also receiving their comeuppance are corrupt lawyers, politicians, police officers, and judges. Searing satire is also directed at "reality journalists" through the character Reynaldo Flemm (i.e. Geraldo Rivera). Not surprisingly the "good guys" win and the "bad guys," including Dr. Graveline, lose. But the hideous way in which Dr. Graveline meets his demise is too gruesome to reveal here.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/books/author/hiaasen/

Extractions: This best-selling author's day job as an investigative journalist has proved him with much more than just a regular income. All nine of Hiaasen's satirical novels are set in his home state of Florida and populated with eccentric characters and wild plots inspired by the news stories he researches. Carl Hiaasen's grandfather moved from his small Norwegian community in North Dakota to the town of Plantation on the edge of the Everglades in the 1920s and Carl was born there in 1953. He was given his first typewriter at the age of six and honed his writing skills through school and university, graduating in 1974 with a degree in journalism.

Extractions: Buy "Siesta Key" Alan Hoelzle at AllPosters.com Home ... All Books Bibliography Book Marks Author Info It's two in the morning and I can't find an analogy to describe the frustration of wanting to tell you all about Hiassen's newest book, Basket Case , whilst revealing nada. That alone is my endorsement: you'll stay up way past your bedtime reading this book until you're finished with it. You'll miss it when you're done. Carl Hiassen is a 25-year veteran of Florida newsrooms and, like Lawrence Shames and Elmore Leonard , he writes wonderfully telling stories of the corruption and anything-can-happen-ness of their state. Throw in a bunch of random folks with their own agendas and quirky habits and you're onto a funny and entertaining read. It's formulaic to be sure, but after ten novels, it still reads as fresh as Tourist Season , his first novel.
