I read all the works of Hiaasen with relish and I shared my enjoyment with many of my loved ones that I was recommending. What a disappointment this time! Nothing, nothing remains of what I like about Fishtail or fishing in troubled waters, for example. No plot: the book, literally never ends, ends with an epilogue that summarizes the pitiful plight of the protagonists. Obviously, Hiaasen does not know to an end ... Totally caricatures, without consistency. Hiaasen has managed to distort Skink, its most delicious and most truculent character: why make him leave his sticks to play the knights and even servants to cut the braids (!)? Finally a foul style bathing in the "pukes" flowing from everywhere, a sloppy and full translation errors. It makes you wonder if it's Hiaasen who committed this book too!
