Any books by this author are hysterical. My personal favorite is Sick Puppy - read it when you are not in the mood for anything serious. He is a totally wacky writer and these are quick reads.

[Barbara J. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve only read the first one, so far, LUCKY YOU, but it’s GREAT. These villains are a couple of unlikely masterminds but worthy of any feature news-blurb completing the google search for “Florida Man” because Hiasson knows how to fully capture Florida Man like no other.

Two winning lottery tickets attached to diametrically opposed winners who are to split $28 million.

Greed on one winning side, Mother Nature, “Holy Shrines,” and good, old fashioned luck, and this Florida caper is complete.

I may be morphing into Hiasson’s #1 fan. But not to worry, Carl. Kidnapping may be your style, but it’s not mine. You’re safe!

Enjoy this and all Hiasson’s books. He’s the perfect escape for these “unprecedented“ (gag 🤢)times.

ANYTHING by Carl HIassen is insanely funny. If you've lived in south florida it helps, but he is dead on and one of the funniest authors alive.

Fun read. I always enjoy Carl Hiassen.

[Deanna · Rating 5 out of 5]

Carl Hiaasen never fails to delight me. His stories captivate me.

[Candice · Rating 4 out of 5]

Carl Hiassen is a Miami Herald columnist who writes mystery novels about all the good Florida stuff- dumb blondes, drunk fishermen, corrupt politicians, snow birds, clueless tourists... you get the idea.

Gotta love a guy who can turn out both the Demi Moore classic "Strip Tease" AND the kids' movie "Hoot"-- He's written a ton of them, but my favorites are Tourist Season, Basket Case, Skinny Dip and the before-mentioned Hoot.

If you are looking for fun, crazy characters and lots of surprises these are great books. Hiassen has a magic for introducing LOTS of characters and just when you think there is no way he can get the story together it all gels magically. I found that when you read his books right after one another they can seem the same so I recommend spacing them out when you read several but they are really enjoyable. Great beach reads for summer.

[Paige · Rating 4 out of 5]

Carl Hiassen's books are fabulous summertime reads. They all deal with environmental issues, mostly the erosion of the swamps of Florida to make room for more high-rises and golf courses. They are really funny and really strange. I'm just bummed I've read them all already.

Just finished Double Whammy---If I ever need an anti-depressant, I take myself to B & N and buy a Hiaasen novel....I think I've now read them all...Hurry up, Carl--never know when I'll need a new fix!

[Patty]

Double Whammy was my first, I laughed till I cried, the characters are soooo bizarre, crazy, delightful...got me hooked on Haissen. I've read it all, and all but 2 were worth the price of a hardback book!!

Hilarious books that are perfect for the beach. Hiassen's characters are crazy and the stories are even crazier.

[Ireland · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gotta Love Hiassen!

[Shanley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Apparently goodreads is too highbrow for Carl Hiassen. . . I can't help it - I love his books. Kooky, crazy Florida at its finest.

[Pat Shealy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love all of Carl Hiassen's Books. You can't go wrong. Easy reads. Entertaining. Southern situations

[John · Rating 4 out of 5]

What can I say, his books tap into my humor. A real page turner. More Floridians should take up his theme of saving our beautiful state from developers, who only care about making a buck.

[Nick · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hiassen may be the best beach reading ever.

[Heather Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Entertaining, light, and a little neurotic.:)

[Amanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

SO SO Funny! Lots and lots of LOLing.

[Eli · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you the kind of person that laughs out loud at something that you read with no regards to how you are percieved then this one is for you.
Enjoy.
No really,
Enjoy.

Basket Case was a good mystery

[Pam · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reading Hiassen is really fun. He describes the deep South beautifully and accurately. His characters are just a joy! His kids books are good too.

[Carmen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely hilarious! If you enjoy mystery with a twisted sense of humor and very quirky characters, Hiassen delivers.

[Michael · Rating 4 out of 5]

gotta give every hiassen book a 3.9

[Edgar cisneros]

i like the book

[Neil Hanson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great installment to the South Florida books by Hiaasen. He creates characters that are so entertaining, and often lugubrious.

[Chrissy · Rating 5 out of 5]

utterly hysterical shaken with scathing wit
