About this product

Product Information

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A collection of the best Miami Herald columns from the New York Times bestselling author of Squeeze Me on burning issues like animal welfare, polluted rivers, and the broken criminal justice system. If you think the wildest, wackiest stories that Carl Hiaasen can tell have all made it into his hilarious, bestselling novels, think again. Dance of the Reptiles collects the best of Hiaasen's Miami Herald columns, which lay bare the stories--large and small--that demonstrate anew that truth is far stranger than fiction. Hiaasen offers his commentary--indignant, disbelieving, sometimes righteously angry, and frequently hilarious--on issues like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Bernie Madoff's trial, and the shenanigans of the recent presidential elections. Whether or not you have read Carl Hiaasen before, you are in for a wild ride.

Reviews
"Although some say the satire practically writes itself in this state, Hiaasen raises it to a higher level. One caveat, though: Unless you have an intravenous drip of blood pressure meds, you might want to read just a few of these columns at a time."     -- Tampa Bay Times "Hiaasen doesn't really need to keep his day job as a columnist for the Miami Herald, but fortunately for the residents of Florida and for his vast readership, he has. . . . The state of Florida does not come off too well in Hiaasen's columns, but one welcome positive of the Sunshine State is obvious--Carl Hiaasen."      --The Free-Lance Star  (Fredericksburg, VA) "Hiaasen makes this parade of idiocy and avarice palatable with a kind of gallows humor. The more appalling the situation, the greater the potential for hilarity. . . . He is not so much stridently liberal as steadfastly sensible, his wit girded by palpable anger."      -- The Post and Courier (Charleston) "Hiaasen employs a seasoned bullshit detector that is among the most acute in American journalism. . . . If Florida is the poster child for a nation's fiscal and political disintegration, Hiaasen is the state's galloping knight (in)errant, slaying the dragons of ineptitude, arrogance and idiocy."     -- Kirkus Reviews "Entertaining. . . . Hilarious and unnerving. . . for Hiaasen's ability to awaken outrage and for his eye for oddity."      -- Booklist Praise for Carl Hiaasen's previous column collections, Paradise Screwed and Kick Ass "Shows you that Hiaasen's seemingly implausible fictional premises aren't really far-fetched at all. He just knows Florida."      -- Playboy   "Reminiscent of the snarky, opinionated newspaper articles of the great Mark Twain, Hiaasen's columns are finely crafted little gems."      -- Booklist   "Lively and well-reported . . . Illuminated by all the wit and keen descriptive powers of his fiction."      -- Salon, "Hiaasen employs a seasoned bullshit detector that is among the most acute in American journalism. . . . If Florida is the poster child for a nation's fiscal and political disintegration, Hiaasen is the state's galloping knight (in)errant, slaying the dragons of ineptitude, arrogance and idiocy." -- Kirkus Reviews "Entertaining. . . .

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Hilarious, and on the money!

    I have read all his books. I have recently become a fan of his non fiction articles. His humor is contagious, and one cannot read anything he writes without a smile, or outright laughter. His political commentary is well said with adequate sarcasm. He digests the ridiculous political events and puts out compelling viewpoints. he points out double standards, shame faced lies, and political shenanigans, and makes the reader aware of current siituations with his touch of humor. I recommend reading all his books, and I hope you will love him as much as I do.

    Good reading. Love the author. Thought at first I wouldn’t like it because its not a novel, but it’s REALLY funny, and written like only Karl hiassen can write.
