  <default_description>Two honeymooners wake up early, make love twice, and brace themselves for a spectacle they won't be watching from the sidelines.

A seductive con artiste stumbles into a scam that promises more cool cash than the lottery.

A shotgun-toting mobile home salesman is about to close a deal with disaster.

A law school dropout will be chasing one Gaboon viper, a troop of storm-shocked monkeys, and a newfound love life, while tourists by the thousands bail from the Florida Keys.

We're now entering the hurricane zone, where hell and hilarity rule. And in the hands of the masterful, merciless Carl Hiaasen, we're going to have some weather.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[In this book, Hiaasen achieves a nice feat.  He blends a modern noir with patches of dark hilarity, like the Coen Brother's Fargo. This is a tale of grifters ranging through post-hurricane-Andrew Florida, ripping off victims who have just been through a terrible natural disaster.

It is dark at points, outrageous at others, and over-the-top. It is pure fun; more fun than my first roller coaster ride!<br/><br/>Mr...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73003801">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[ I ride Muni. Carl Hiaasen writes clever, enjoyable, somewhat facile farces which make excellent reads on Muni. Hence, I have read an unconscionable amount of Carl Hiassen.<br/> His stories are pretty formulaic; they usually involve an eccentric/reclusive Floridian (our hero) whose life improbably ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5084651">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A problem I've noticed with a lot of &quot;humor&quot; books is that they start out strong with lots of funny ideas and names...and then slowly deteriorate as the book progresses.  That's what I've come to expect and that's what I figured Stormy Weather would do, too.  But I was pleased: as the book...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65276813">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  While it is humorous for any reader, those of us from South Florida who lived through Hurricane Andrew can relate to the stories and recall situations quite similar to those described by the author.  Insurance fraud, price gouging and unethical behavior ran rampant d...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41164607">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If you haven’t read a Carl Hiaasen novel then this a good book to start. Hiaasen is at his best with his South Florida political satire and creation of zany characters all combined to produce a humorous good read. <br/><br/>If you like Carl Hiaasen but haven’t read <em>Stormy Weather</em> then this boo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60882569">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The aftermath of Hurricane Andrew inspired Carl Hiaasen to write Stormy Weather. This dark comedy pokes fun at the lowlifes and bad behavior that surface after a natural disaster. The book follows about a dozen characters and their interactions with each other as they try to screw each other over.<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1783151">more...</a>]]></body>
