Cherry Pye is a 22 year old pop star whose life is as crazy as his talent is thin. This Lolita limitless layer right and left swallowing passing all illicit substances come in range. It is decked out with an abusive mother who sees her daughter as his main source of income, a bodyguard who would raise Frankenstein Brad Pitt, and a secret lining replaces Cherry when it is no longer able to standing, that is to say quite often. A paparazzo adipose joined this band of "freaks" and kidnaps the lining, in a tragic misunderstanding. Relatives of Cherry and some other improbable characters then mobilize to find her. The story takes place in most of the bling and pastel Miami's Art Deco District (South Beach), the Disneyland of people, and all the ingredients for tasty adventures, unexpected twists and paroxysmal end. Except that - it does not work completely. I will be less severe than other reviewers here, but "Press-people" is not the best Carl Hiaasen. One has the impression that the narrative lacks "focus", the story is scattered a little, the story lacks nerve. The novel is enjoyable to read, however, the tousled style that has made the success of Carl H., and may satisfy those who love the world of people and their excesses, gleefully reported by the tabloid press. But you can also read or reread "Hand sewn," the same Carl Hiaasen, a success which also takes place in Miami, like most novels by this author also unique and endearing.
