More than 20 years ago, I told a friend she should read Hiaasen’s “Sick Puppy.” She was upset with me at first, asking me why I told her she should read this awful book (she is very much an animal lover). I told her to keep reading. She did … and absolutely loved how it developed.
I figured I owed her a good read as she had got me to read John Dunning’s “The Bookman’s Wake.”
(Non-fiction, about how Disney has been disastrous for Florida. Considering the Disney-DeSantis feud, I wonder Hiaasen has since reevaluated. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” and all that.)

So Caulfield didn’t read “Team Rodent”?

Never read (or even heard of) Hiaasen, but by strange coincidence, I started watching Bad Monkey recently. Now I need to deep dive on this author.

I am reading a Hiaasen book right now, and loving it. I don’t know how l will find the time to read them all…

Robert E. Zeitner – The same as reading John Steinbeck’s The Log From the Sea of Cortez.

Hiassen is a genius. Vince Vaughan is great in “Bad Monkey”, currently streaming on AppleTV.
