Skinny Dip - Unique, Wacky, Drama-filled, and Often Way Too Ridiculous

Date of Review:  Jun 29, 2005
The Bottom Line: This is an entertaining book, which is fast-paced and has a pretty wild plot. Skinny Dip is a unique read that is a nice change from most books.
Review: My co-worker belongs to a book club, so I was lucky enough to score this book as a recommendation from her. She said it was a really fun book, and by the end of the day, having sat on my desk for a few hours, the book received several compliments...

Let's Go Swimmin' Altogether!

Date of Review:  Aug 3, 2004
The Bottom Line: The bottom line insists on wearing a swimsuit. What a wimp!
Review: Joey Perrone went for a swim unwillingly, "helped" over the rail of a mammoth cruise liner by Chaz, her husband of two years. The wannabe widower didn't count on Joey's swimming ability or a bale of abandoned pot she could press into service as a...

Skinny Dip by Carl Hiaasen

Date of Review:  Aug 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: Carl Hiaasen has the ability to make even the most serious crimes seem amusing. This is a very good humorous crime novel.
Review: One of the more satisfying discoveries for a dedicated crime and mystery reader like myself is the subgenre of humorous hardboiled crime. As paradoxical as it sounds, the combination of strong criminal themes and farce make for some very...

"Hey, at least I don't smell like a Dumpster at Woodstock...."

Date of Review:  Feb 14, 2006
The Bottom Line: Hiaasen's 10th novel is a wonderful mix of caper-mystery and satirical comedy that engages the mind while making the reader laugh. Good stuff!
Review: Anger can often inspire some of the best humor material ever written, as any savvy reader of satire can probably attest to. A well-written piece of satire, while often very funny on a superficial level, can often bring readers' attention to...

Skinny Dip

Date of Review:  Nov 4, 2004
The Bottom Line: A definite must read for anyone looking for a light capricious read that will tickle the 'ole' funny bone.
Review: One minute Joey was talking to her husband on the deck of cruise liner, Sun Duchess and the next she's in the Atlantic Ocean, off Miami, wondering what the hell happened. It seems after apparently bending down to pick up their stateroom key, Joey's...

Skinny Dip would make a great Coen brothers movie

Date of Review:  Aug 10, 2005
The Bottom Line: This is a fun murder-gone-wrong mystery set in south Florida.
Review: In the first chapter of Skinny Dip, a younger married couple named Joey and Charles 'Chaz' Perrone is celebrating their anniversary on a cruise. It is late at night and they are out walking along the upper deck alone. When the husband drops his room...

Skinny Dip: Jump in with both feet into a swell book

Date of Review:  Aug 12, 2004
The Bottom Line: A wonderful read! Characters that are so real you?ll look around to see if you?re not standing next to them knee deep in muck from the everglades.
Review: Skinny Dip is a wonderful mastery of fictional work with humor, sarcastic wit, irony and tall tales! Another fabulous part of the story is it's set in none other than my favorite place FLORIDA. Yep, Florida, home of the alligators, weirdo's, love...
