Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Hiaasen’s the master of madcap ensembles…Each paragraph packs descriptive delights to keep you going at breakneck pace.” —Amazon.com, editorial review
“[Hiaasen] shows himself to be a comic writer at the peak of his powers.” —Publishers Weekly
“Nick Sullivan’s narration complements this hilarious plot, creating unique voices for each character that hit the mark exactly…The narrator delivers the lines with perfect pacing.” —AudioFile
“Outrageously bizarre.” —Booklist
“A sexy, fast-paced romp.” —Financial Times
“Sick Puppy is Hiaasen at his best.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer
“From start to finish, Sick Puppy is a howl.” —New York Post
“Hiaasen has done it again with this wacky, wonderful novel.” —Library Journal
“Carl Hiaasen’s books are so much fun, it’s a wonder they’re still legal.” —Newsday
“Hiaasen’s usual cast of zany characters shows up en masse in Sick Puppy, a frolicking sendup of ecological subterfuge, Florida’s fabled politics, and downright human foibles.” —USA Today
“Hiaasen delivers everything his fans want. He’s still funny as hell and
mad as hell; his myriad plot twists won’t give you a moment’s peace, and
his characters are kinkier than anything you could order on late night
TV.” —Miami Herald
“A comic romp that is thoroughly enjoyable…[Hiaasen] is considerably
more fun to read than Elmore Leonard, but remains, after a decade of
writing novels, in that twilight of cult author who’s on the verge of
being discovered big time. Discover him.” —Atlanta Journal-Constitution
