Title: Forgive me, but I just can't resist anything by Carl Hiaasen
Review: I mean, I can't really give one of his books 5 stars, because somehow I think that accolade ought to be reserved for serious literary achievements, like Kavalier and Clay or Atonement. But, really, I love Hiaasen and just can't resist reading everything he writes. He's wacky, loony, impious, a total lunatic. I went to a book signing when Basket Case was released, and he's just as funny in person as he is on the printed page.Hiaasen is a full-speed ahead man when it comes to the use of similies; being a fellow author and a simile-lover myself, I treasure his gems and wish I could come up with even half as many that were as good as all of his, things like: 'She looked about as Latin as Goldie Hawn,' 'he blinked like a sleepy porch lizard,' ' he scratched at his Old Testament tattoos,' and 'he had about as much charisma as a bowl of cold oatmeal.'You gotta love it!
