Who's killing off the Slut Puppies??? 'Not I ' said the bleached blonde...

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2003
The Bottom Line: Quirky, hilarious characters, great settings, a mysterious diving death, a band called the "Slut Puppies" and an obituary writer obsessed with his own mortality. You can't go wrong!
Review: I first read Carl Hiaasen about a year ago when an editor I work with raved about his stuff. (Don't worry, I don't work for Hiaasen's publisher!) I had told this editor friend that I'd been bass fishing quite a bit during the summer, and he told me...

Classic Hiaasen! The guy appreciates...
Cons
a tad predictable in places
 

Jimmy and the Slut Puppies...Rock On!!

Date of Review:  May 17, 2002
The Bottom Line: Humor, rock stars, reporters and a fight with a frozen lizard as the weapon...what more could you want?
Review: How can you not love a book that revolves around a rocker named Jimmy Stoma and his band, The Slut Puppies? The most recent book by Florida novelist and newspaper columnist Carl Hiaasen (Striptease, Sick Puppy, Lucky You) is a cracking good novel...

Pros
Humorous writing that almost always...
Cons
The mystery isn't much of a mystery.
 

The insecurites of the modern journalist

Date of Review:  May 9, 2003
The Bottom Line: Probably his best novel since Striptease, Carl Hiaasen offers up another pleasant little satire about corruption in the media.
Review: Many among us who read a large number of books, reviewers and non, tend to have that one embarrassing type of book or author we love to read, but is admittedly not the high-and-mighty "quality" fiction we want people to believe we spend our time...

Paperback, Basket Case
Once a hotshot investigative reporter, Jack Tagger now bangs out obituaries for a South Florida daily, ?plotting to resurrect my newspaper career by yoking my byline to some famous stiff.? Jimmy Stoma, the infamous front man of Jimmy and the Slut Puppies, dead in a fishy-smelling scuba ?accident,? might be the stiff of Jack?s dreams?if only he can figure out what happened. Standing in the way are (among others) his ambitious young editor, who hasn?t yet fired anyone but plans to ?break her cherry? on Jack; the rock star?s pop-singer widow, who?s using the occasion of her husband?s death to re-launch her own career; and the soulless, profit-hungry owner of the newspaper, whom Jack once publicly humiliated at a stockholders? meeting.With clues from the dead rock singer?s music, Jack ultimately unravels Jimmy Stoma?s strange fate?in a hilariously hard-won triumph for muckraking journalism, and for the death-obsessed obituary writer himself.
