Summary
Tourist season is swinging into high gear in Miami. So are the activities of a bizarre terrorist group determined to keep the hapless "snowbirds" away. Armed with bombs, weed, and jumbled credos, they move toward their grand target, the Orange Bowl Parade, with plans to bring Miami and its tourist trade to a halt.
The cast, which includes a deranged journalist, a visionary ex-jock, and a lovesick detective, is just the kind of company Carl Hiaasen's fans love to keep. Narrator George Wilson's performance lures each quirky character out into the full light of the Florida sun. With over half a million copies in print, this is one of Hiaasen's most popular works.

Laugh out loud
Even though this book is over 30 years old the humour is fresh and the eco messages even more so. I’ve just rediscovered Hiaasen after a long drought and not regretting it.

It's ok.
not as good as the skink series and can be a bit confusing at times.

Disappointed
I’m sorry I've read and listened to a lot of Carl’s books, but making a hero, even an ecologist out of Hypocritical Charlie Manson type, meant I could not connect or sympathies with most of the characters

Disappointing
I love most of Carl Hiaasen's books - unfortunately this one had too much implausible dialogue (particularly with the psychiatrist) so I gave up early. I believe this was his first solo book, which may explain it. All the other books I've read/listened to have been hugely enjoyable.
