Native Tongue

Rating:
Summary: Great Carl Hiaasen
Review: You know, when an author puts out a number or series of books, there are bound to be favorites. Unrelated, I always found Robert Parker's "Searching for Rachel Wallace" to be my favorite Spenser, Nelson DeMille's "Up Country" my favorite DeMille and my favorite Follet, easily "The Pillars." And this is my favorite Hiaasen.

"Striptease" is funny and in it's own way riveting as is "Skin Tight." But "Native Tongue" raises the bar on well written wackiness. I would tell you about the plot but I'm not sure there is one. Just watch Joe Winder, a frustrated Carl Hiaasen in his own right, and wait for the appearance of Governor Skink. That's ex-Governor Skink. 5 Stars. Larry Scantlebury
