À propos de cet audio

 Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Carl Hiaasen's best-selling novels are funny and sardonic. Hilarious postcards of south Florida, they also decry the lurid commercialism that is draining and paving the tropical landscape.

Tourist season is swinging into high gear in Miami. So are the activities of a bizarre terrorist group determined to keep the hapless "snowbirds" away. Armed with bombs, weed, and jumbled credos, they move toward their grand target, the Orange Bowl Parade, with plans to bring Miami and its tourist trade to a halt.

The cast, which includes a deranged journalist, a visionary ex-jock, and a lovesick detective, is just the kind of company Carl Hiaasen's fans love to keep. Narrator George Wilson's performance lures each quirky character out into the full light of the Florida sun. With over half a million copies in print, this is one of Hiaasen's most popular works.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Reading a Hiaasen book is always a high-speed boat ride where laughter can turn to horror and disaster at any moment. Hearing the story aloud adds a dose of realism and sensation....Wilson's narration is perfectly timed, laid-back, and salty." (AudioFile)

I've enjoyed a lot of this authors books. The Florida man, private eye, lowbrow comedy theme in all his books are really fun and I recommend them. This is one of his older ones so it's not my favorite but it was still a good story. My one complaint is the narrator. It's not that he is bad but I read the first few books from this author myself and this guy is just not what I heard in my head. I understand why he's chosen to do so many of these books, he's got that sort of lazy Florida snowbird drawl (and I mean that is a good way if that makes sense) that can go along with these themes. The problem I have with it is that he makes every character feel like an old man. I have to keep reminding myself that certain characters aren't old men, like, no that's not a 65 year old man getting together with a 20 year old girl, that's OK then. Sometimes even though I know it I don't remember how old a character is until something is mentioned which takes me back to the original character description. Regardless I still enjoyed this story, will continue with all of this authors other titles and recommend anyone check them out.

Another funny Florida tale

Very fun book. Not as clever as some of his more recent stories but still funny. Some themes seem a bit dated but if you take it with a grain of 80s salt it’s very enjoyable.

The narrator as an individual does an excellent job of capturing the different characters. The story is excellent, I really liked listening to this.
