Where Else But Miami?

Date of Review:  Mar 10, 2001
The Bottom Line: Lots of quirky characters thrown together in the midst of a natural disaster can only be fun!
Review: I had never even heard of this author before I picked up this book at a local "going out of business" sale at a bookstore. We'll read anything for 80% off, right? Anyway, I'm glad I picked it up as it was very entertaining.

There really...

STORMY WEATHER-Carl Hiaasen Creates Another Masterpiece!

Date of Review:  Jul 16, 2001
The Bottom Line: STORMY WEATHER is a well written, funny, ironic read that would be a little vacation of the mind. Great for laughing and a must for Floridian-ophiles!!!
Review: Carl Hiaasen is a native born Floridian and his love of the beautiful, beleagared state is evident in all his books. He usually takes true incidences that happen in South Florida and exaggerates them only slightly. The result is a highly...

Not fiction---I swear!

Date of Review:  Oct 13, 2000
Review: Stormy Weather is another of Hiaasen's intricate/wacky creations. I say this to everyone who speaks of him and his books: this is not fiction.
This particular book is an insider's perspective of the Hurricane Andrew aftermath. A hugely...

The High Priest Unleashes More Screwballs

Date of Review:  Aug 23, 1999
Review: Carl Hiassen is the reigning high priest of the comic suspense genre and Stormy Weather is a worthy addition to his growing collection. It's a zany romp through the wacky south Florida environment that is the setting for all his novels. He has, as...

Well Written Insanity

Date of Review:  Jan 15, 2000
Review: Carl Hiaasen continues with his usual wild and clinically insane romp through South Florida in, Stormy Weather. This book introduces us to Max and Bonnie Lamb, Augustine, and Hiaasen brings Jim Tile, and the ever memorable Skink back from "Double...

Move Over, Elmore?

Date of Review:  Feb 25, 2000
Review: Stormy Weather is the first novel I have read by Carl Hiaasen. Why I waited so long is a mystery. I think I somehow lumped Hiaasen in with Dave Barry, as a sarcastic sort of humor writer. I do like Barry, but don't read him regularly, or with...

Hiaasen Rules!

Date of Review:  Apr 17, 2001
The Bottom Line: I'd give this book 8 stars if possible.
Review: My girlfriend, a native of Florida, turned me on to Hiaasen's work about a year ago. Since then, I've read four of his books and am ready to start a fifth. I try to pace myself with his books, knowing that I will eventually have no more Hiaasen to...
