At first I had a little trouble to read this book, to concentrate on the characters and scenes to represent me. And then after a while, once the characters were in place, I was soon captivated by this book. Eager to read more, folded laughing and imagining all too well the scenes. For me who only reads novels girls and by girls, this original policeman was fun and I recommend it to all who want to laugh. The style is light, easy and pleasant to read to the end. In summary: I loved it! This is my first Carl Hiaasen but not the last!
