Entertaining submitted by lukepauer on June 15, 2014, 6:12am An amazing story about when someone goes into the everglades not ready for what will come. An great story about Wahoo, his dad Mickey, and Tuna.

reality TV satire submitted by camelsamba on July 20, 2017, 10:20pm If you're familiar with Hiaasen's work, this will feel similar: fun characters you either love or hate, sarcastic humor, and barely believable story lines - this one set in the Everglades. One day my son was watching a YouTube video spoofing a survivalist TV show. I thought of that spoof as I read about Derek Beaver (errr, Badger!) and wondered if Hiaasen was riffing on the same show.

Funny submitted by sydcha on August 2, 2019, 5:34pm Laughs throughout, this book is wonderfully written and a joy to read. I definitely recommend you check this one out.
