Squeeze Me - Carl Hiaasen

Squeeze Me - Carl Hiaasen

She read; he is reading next

I’ve read quite a few of Hiaasen’s novels, and I think this is his best.  Perhaps it is a reflection of our times, but the characters and actions seem a lot less absurd than some of his previous works.  That which at one time could have seemed over the top no longer is.  With a little stretch of the imagination, much of this, especially the political, could be real. In fact, I’m sure I’ve seen some of it take place already!

I truly laughed out loud over and over reading Squeeze Me.  As a south Floridian, I applaud Hiaasen’s concern for our environment and appreciate his giving light to the eccentricities of “Florida Man and “Florida Woman”.
