This book is about a hundred pages too long and is a poorly developed story about an unstable environmentalist that stalks an asshole lobbyist/exotic game hunter because he saw him toss trash out the window of his car. The most frustrating thing about this book is that it has potential to turn into an interesting story, but it moves in a bunch of roundabout directions and never delivers. Worst of all, it seems like the author wanted to use every strange character he had ever developed in one book. There's a big game hunter/lobbyist, a former toyota salesman turned governor, a former governor that now lives wild in the everglades, a developer with a barbie fetish, a young and reckless enviromnetalist that is also super rich, a biologist that has sold his appreciation for nature for some quick cash, etc. and sometimes that is not the right way to go. The only reason I put this book on my shelf is that I thought I had too many books I like on there!
