“There are more than 200 essays in this volume, and every one of them
is a gem. It makes no difference if the people, places, and events being
discussed are unfamiliar to most non-Floridians. Hiaasen gives them
universality with his style and point of view. He writes about politics
and politicians, crime and criminals, ordinary people and extraordinary
people, and a lot of just plain south Florida weirdness. . . . Along with
Kick Ass, this is one of the best collections of occasional journalism
published in recent years.”—Booklist (starred review)
