  <default_description>Who let the voles out? The precious, blue-tongued mango voles have been stolen from the Amazing Kingdom theme park on North Key Largo by ruthless thugs who have much bigger-and deadlier-things in mind. On the hunt for the rare rodents is Joe Winder, a burned-out ex-muckraking reporter who now works for the park as their PR man. Even as a scandal breaks out over the theft, Winder finds himself trailing an eco-terrorist geriatric, a certain former-governor-turned-swamp rat, and sleazy land developer Francis X. Kingsbury. Determined to uncover the true nature of the Kingdom, Winder must survive this harrowing wilderness-before the natives get to him....</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[An entertaining if odd environmentally-aware crime comedy. I like the style, and I enjoyed the book, but it also felt a bit like environmentalist propaganda. I've got more Hiaasen books on my shelf to read, and I'm definitely going to read more of his stuff, but I wonder now if everything he's writt...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64847906">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love pretty much anything by Carl Hiassen.  Formulaic?  yes.  Does he get on his soapbox every time?  Yeah.  Filled with obscenities?  Yes, but some of my favorite new cuss words came from Carl.  The best thing about his writing is that it's fun, irreverent, and the bad guys always get it in the m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51109922">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[#2 of my favorite Hiaasen novels, this is a key example of his off-the-wall sense of humor, Florida-native sensibilities, and extreme hatred of all things Disney.  Between the the environmentalists, SKINK, the blue-tongued voles, and the horny dolphins, what's not the love?]]></body>
