Title: So where are the funny bits then?
Review: OK, so it's a readable story and I cracked the occasional wry grin at some of the bizarre scenarios, but where are the belly laughs that the hype promised me? Perhaps it's a cultural thing and Hiaasen's humour doesn't cross the Atlantic very well? The book seemed to be packed full of in-jokes that only Americans will understand and it made me feel like my friends were talking about a party to which I wasn't invited. Sorry, but for satire and a good laugh, give me a Tom Sharpe book any day!
