Am I the only person in the known world who had never read a Carl Hiaasen book? He clearly is quite the prolific author, with multiple best-sellers and a huge following. Recently my friend Daniel sent me Hiaasen’s book Skinny Dip, it was a great read, actually fun might be a better term.
The genre would be "a summer read."
Skinny Dip is a
page-turner, sort of a cross between Gone Girl and Mad Magazine. It’s also one of those books where you really
can’t say a lot about the book without giving a spoiler alert. I’ll give you some limited information: it is set
in the Florida Keys and the Everglades; it’s a detective-like story; and it has
sharks, alligators, cobras and seniors as bit players.
Submerged way deep in the story is a serious subplot about pollution.
It also has a least one hearty, irreverent, laugh per page. Oh, and if you were planning a cruise for
your anniversary, you might want to reconsider, wait until after you read this book.
Recommendation: Fun book,
make a margarita and pull up a deck chair.
