Title: fiction says it better
Review: I have long been a fan of Carl Hiaassen's fiction, and his satire of Disney World in "Native Tongue" was far more effective in making his point than this 87-page elongated essay. I found the book disappointing and felt that he did not make a good case at all for something he obviously feels strongly about. He presents the reader with a lot more emotion than facts, picking out 5 or 6 incidents, some of which he admits that Disney was in no way at fault in. It boils down to a few perhaps unethical and undesirable things that just about any big corporation, not only Disney, has probably been guilty of. I'm not a big Disney fan, by the way. What I see as dangerous is any company's taking control of so much of the media that their views and values can be imposed on society whether we want them or not. I don't think this was adequately addressed at all. Stick to fiction, Carl, you're much better at it.
