About this listen
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.
©1986 Carl Hiaasen (P)1998 Recorded Books, LLCCritic Reviews
"Reading a Hiaasen book is always a high-speed boat ride where laughter can turn to horror and disaster at any moment. Hearing the story aloud adds a dose of realism and sensation....Wilson's narration is perfectly timed, laid-back, and salty." (AudioFile)

Mayhem in Miami
Typical Carl Hiaasen novel. Murder and mayhem in Miami. This is satire at it's best. Centered around the newspaper industry, tourism and the everglades. Hiassen gets his point across with humour. Love the craziness of it all.

Still one of my favourite Hiaasen novels.
George Wilson does a fantastic job, lending uniqueness to each character through his use of accents and tone.

Story and Narrator
This story is so very true as to what is happening to our once beautiful Earth. To the trashing and destruction that man has done.
The story is well written and well told, excellent.
Worthwhile listening too.

Well written hilarious caper
Giggled my way through this entire story, with one exceptionally laugh out loud moment. Well written, satirical story with colourful characters and hilariously inventive scenes. A great listen.

Another great Hiaasen
Very funny and George Wilson’s narration is fabulous. Sick Puppy is still my favourite Hiaasen.
