Didn't make the cut.. submitted by Mscarmenshahin on November 3, 2014, 6:15pm Carl Hiaasen is one of my all time favorite authors. His books tend to be funny, suspenseful, and exciting. This book wasn't bad but it fell a little short for me.
I felt the characters and story didn't live up to Hiaasen potential . It was almost like a filler book to get us through to the next novel.
It was nice to listen to with the kids but I'm more looking forward to the next Hiaasen book.

typical Hiaasen middle grades humor submitted by camelsamba on July 20, 2017, 10:17pm 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. 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. The reader of the audiobook is excellent.
