Summary: Nothing but a childish attempt at getting even with Disney
Review: I read this book,and I could'nt help but wonder if the author is really a spiteful 11-year-old trying to get even with Disney for scorning him.How childish-_-.This book is nothing but the pig-headed author trying his very best to get back at Disney and bait them with childish remarks,taunting and lies.Perhaps Mr.Hiaasen and his fanatic followers should open their eyes to the war in the Middle East and the recent rash of children being kidnapped;instead,they choose to nauseate people by sniveling about Disney.And that's all this book is:Sniveling,sniveling,and yet more endless sniveling.If you want to read this piece of garbe,make sure you have a bucket handy-you'll need it to vomit repeatedly in while reading this book.I do NOT recommend this book to any unless you want to throw your money away.Let's hope that someday,Hiaaasen and his sniveling followers will grow up and gets lives instead of spending 24/7 sitting on the toilet thinking of new ways to snivel about Disney.Or better yet-they could seek professional mental help for their Disney-phobia.

Summary: Save your [money]...
Review: This is nothing but an 83 page pamphlet in which Carl Hiaasen vents his hatred for the Disney Corp. I have no problem with Mr. Hiaasen feeling this way although I like to take my family to Disney World.For the past 150 years, the railroads, builders and developers have controlled everything that happens in the state of Florida. They own all the politicians and whatever they want, they get. Disney just hopped on the bandwagon. I have read every book that Mr. Hiaasen has written for the simple reason that they are funny but I am glad that I bought this one from the used book store.

Summary: mickey mouse, skewered and smoked
Review: Only Hiaasen could turn Disney into the vile and soulless entity presented in "Team Rodent" and still make you chuckle. I suspect that most lucid people have had the occasional flickering thought that perhaps the Disney Corporation seemed a bit too omnipresent and omnipotent to be so wonderful, and here Hiaasen explains exactly why that is the case. To be fair, this book isn't just a roasting of the mouse, it is also a roasting of the American culture that so embraces the overcleansed Disney ideal. Hiaasen's writing, as usual, is witty and clever, and sometimes snort-milk-out-your-nose funny. Humor aside, I found the book deeply troubling because I saw so many parallels between the way that Disney and Big Tobacco run their businesses and buy off their enemies. This book will certainly make you laugh, but hopefully it will also make you think.

Summary: Disney's Agenda Given No Other Name
Review: I am excited that the author of this book is willing to criticize the Disney-Eisner empire. (...) Hiaasen says Disney is scary because they're trying to "improve on nature?" Is Hiaasen right to criticize Disney-Eisner for these things and more? Certainly. Without that right, they should have no protected right to be the socioeconomic influence they are.

Summary: Fun lite reading, but pointless
Review: This isn't so much a book as a pamphlet, with 82 pages of large type and a lot of space. A shallow critique, but funny and a decent read. No revelations here. For real insight, read Mouse Tales.

Summary: The other side of the Mouse
Review: Ok.. first of all I loved Disney as a kid.. then they polluted the everglades & tried to stick a theme park where they shouldn't, so I hated them.. then they made Lion King & I liked them.. and then I went back to WDW in 1998 & I loved them again. Knowing how evil they can be, I appreciated Hiassen's sarcastic & biting humor.. The man may/may not hate Disney but when you are planning your next Disney trip, don't forget to pick up & read "Team Rodent" as well as your Birnbaum's (which is the Company line/ Disney approved travel book). This book made me laugh my [back end] off.. Another good read is "Mouse Tales."

Summary: Malicious and a little baffling -- Muckraking strikes again
Review: Hiaasen doesn't ever seem to justify his hatred of the Walt Disney World Company in this book, but rather repeatedly states that Orlando would be a backwater little village if not for the Mouse. Granted, I'm a bit biased, having worked for WDW, but still, even viewing it objectively, Hiaasen never seems to come out and say why he's muckraking, only that "there's no scandal as delectable as a Disney scandal"

Summary: God Bless Carl Hiaasen!
Review: The climactic scene in the Wizard of Oz comes when Dorothy and her friends pull back the curtain hiding the Great Oz and find . . . a silly little man moving levers and turning cranks to keep the whole illusion alive. Similarly, Carl Hiaasen strips away the false front of the Disney organization to reveal . . . a totalitarian state ruled by an exceptionally greedy (and not very bright) Michael Eisner. As a boy in the Fifties, I can remember driving from the Northeast to Florida during the summertime, and what a truly lovely, fragrant, natural place it was. But no more. Thanks to the "greedheads" (Mr. Hiaasen's apt term), it has become an obscene parody of itself.

Summary: Much more fun than Space Mountain
Review: Who know that a book under 100 pages could be so informative and funny? Although I was raised watching Disney movies and reading books about Disney movies, it was easy for me to dismiss all that later in life and see Disney for what it really is; evil. Carl Hiaasen couldn't do a better or more hilarious job proving this. Go out, buy it, and pass it on.

Summary: The Hilarious, One Essential Anti-Disney Book
Review: This is as funny as Hiaasen's novels but even more pointed, because its true. Astoundingly viscious (but deservedly so), this book is not only about Disney but the American trend of surrendering our rights and brains to large corporations. The culture homogenized and standardized and all eccentricity and individuality stamped out seems to be the dream of Michael Eisner and colleagues, according to Carl. Cheers to Hiaasen for mounting his rear-guard guerilla action against Mandatory Good Taste.
