Who is the Real Sick Puppy?

Date of Review:  Apr 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: Hilarious and fast moving story with a good moral; lots of fun, great characters-they almost seem real. Very moral conservative folks wouldn't like it.
Review: When I first purchased this book, I did not realize that there was an actual, literal 'sick puppy' amongst the cast of characters. That particular sick puppy, Boodle/McGuinn, the Labrador Retriever, just added to the fun (and general mayhem) in this...

The puppy is about the only thing sick about this book.

Date of Review:  Jun 2, 2000
Review: I must confess that "Sick Puppy" is the only Carl Hiassen novel I've read, but I might soon have to remedy that. Hiaasen writes a good story, and then makes it funny as hell.

The title of the book refers to Boodle, a labrador retriever...

Review: Let's play a game. Please identify for me who the sick puppy of the title is. The contestants.

"Sick Puppy" by Carl Hiaasen offers entertaining variations on his usual themes

Date of Review:  Feb 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you want to laugh and don't mind being preached to about the environment, you'll like this book.
Review: If you read a novel by Carl Hiaasen, you quickly learn a few things about him:

--- He loves Florida.

--- He's angry about the overdevelopment in Florida.

--- He has little confidence in politicians.

--- He has a...

"Who let the dogs out?"

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2001
The Bottom Line: A Good Read?: Yes
Review: Carl Hiaasen is one of my favorite writers. He writes hilarious, witty satire that targets the politicians and land developers that are ruining Florida. Carl is not afraid to target anybody and he even slammed Disney in the book "Team Rodent".

What a twisted tale he weaves

Date of Review:  Apr 13, 2000
Review: I was traveling from Texas to Florida and got a couple of audio books to keep me company. Sick Puppy by Carl Hiassen was one of them. I had read Carl's column while living in Miami and like his style, so I was very curious to hear this book. My only...

Sick Puppy - For all the litterbugs of the world...

Date of Review:  Mar 7, 2000
Review: Don't you just hate going down the highway and seeing mountains of trash on the side of the road? I loathe it... This book is for the litterbugs as a word of warning...

The book starts out as Palmer Stoat, a political lobbyist in Florida...

Entertainment is not dead

Date of Review:  Jan 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: Looking to get lost in an entertaining story? Read this one!!
Review: I've seen Carl Hiaasen books before but never read any of his stuff. I also never really talked to anyone who said anything about him. So....I went to the library one day when the weather was gloomy, the kind of day you just want to curl up in front...

Review: Forget Elmore Leonard, the new King of South Floridian Psuedo-Mystery, Psuedo-Comical, Pseudo-Absurdist Novels is back and better than he's ever been with Sick Puppy. After the mildly disappointing(in my opinion) Lucky You, Carl Hiassen has returned...
