Product Description
A hilarious new novel of greed and corruption from the bestselling author of "Strip Tease". The story focuses on southern Florida at the height of the tourist season, when a ferocious hurricane hits--luring con artists, carpetbaggers, and would-be saviors like hyenas to the lion's kill. "Hiaasen himself is a one-man force of nature".

I love, love, LOVE Carl Hiaasen! This book did not disappoint!
My father has been reading Mr. Hiaasen's books for years and years now. He recommended them to me and gave me Skinny Dip to read first. From the first page I was hooked! I have now read almost all of his books. He is so funny! The writing is some of the best I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Stormy Weather was one of my favorites. It had everything! From wild, thieving monkeys, to criminals, to con-artists, to gangsters, to the always present normal couple of characters. And of course you have to pay homage to "The Captain"!
Bottom line is that this man is a genious and I will read ANYTHING he every writes!

More fun than a roller coaster!

Comment:
[...] I appreciate Carl Hiaasen's brand of humor. Like all of his books, Stormy Weather is satire at its best. It is dark at points, outrageous at others, and over-the-top. It is pure fun; more fun than my first roller coaster ride!
Mr. Hiaasen has an active imagination which allows him to create delightfully memorable characters. He is consistent in this regard in all of his books. I haven't read one that has disappointed me yet and I have read at least six of them. There's no need for me to get into the plot. The story tells itself in an engaging way.
In this troubled world we live in, it is nice to have an escape. This book did it for me. I trust it will do the same for you.

Comment:
This book.......I don't even know where one would start. It's impossible to even say what style of story this is. Murder, mayhem, escaped exotic animals, an ex-governor, psychos, crazies, losers, criminals........they ALL abound in this absolutely hysterically disturbing book. I loved it, it was like nothing I've ever read before, and now, I can't wait to read the rest of his books! There's nothing else to say, except that, if you're looking for something completely different, Carl Hiaasen has written it! Just read it people!
