Book Overview
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the bestselling author of Squeeze Me comes a wildly entertaining Florida caper--a razor-sharp send-up of modern American life, packed with misfits and mayhem. "No satirist arrived at our dystopian moment better prepared than Carl Hiaasen." --Slate " Carl Hiaasen's] reality with a side of escapism is a blessing for our fragile minds at this time." --Samantha Irby in The Atlantic Welcome to Fever Beach, where the sun blazes, the politics are unhinged, and the characters are as volatile as a summer storm. Dale Figgo is a half-baked crusader with the rare distinction of being kicked out of the Proud Boys--for being too dumb. His latest bad decision? Picking up a hitchhiker on a rainy afternoon while running an errand. That errand sets off a chain reaction involving Viva Morales, a clever, resilient newcomer trying to rebuild her life post-divorce. She's renting a room in Figgo's apartment and working at the Mink Foundation--a philanthropic front with something far darker beneath the surface. Circling them is Twilly Spree, a hotheaded environmentalist with too much cash and a gift for over-the-top revenge. When dark money and twisted motives bring their worlds crashing together, Viva and Twilly become unlikely allies. Together, they uncover a tangle of corruption and conspiracy led by a plastic-surgery-loving billionaire couple and a clueless congressman with delusions of grandeur. In his most outrageous and deliciously funny novel yet, Hiaasen delivers a gleefully chaotic portrait of contemporary madness.

Hiaason has let his frustration seep into his writing.
Published by Erfer , 1 month ago
Usually except for the past couple of years, I enjoy books by this author. Unfortunately he has let his frustration with today's political climate seep into his writing. Sometimes, that's not a bad thing, but unfortunately for Carl, the frustrations of a deteriorating mind and frustration with today's political climate have tainted his writing. I read the book, knowing how it was going to end before I even got a third of the way through. And while I really enjoyed Bad Monkey, (one of his earlier works from the Yancy series) and I'm watching it on Apple, I don't think I'll bother spending money on any of his future works. It is unfortunate to watch a good writer come unraveled. There'll be a group of folks who really enjoy this, and then there'll be a group of folks who enjoy good authors who will go what the heck? Oh well, age does terrible things to our minds.
