Carl Hiaasen is from Florida, which makes sense. He’s colorful, he’s sunny, he’s a bit deranged, and he knows how to grab — and keep — your attention. He’s also a world-class storyteller, whether writing his celebrated column for the Miami Herald or one of his hugely popular novels. And he’s funny. Really, really funny. If you haven’t yet lost a weekend to Carl Hiaasen, you’re in for a treat — as good as your first fried alligator!
