    Christian "cooters" (means turtles)
  

*by B***G on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2012*

"Lucky You" is typical Hiaasen in that the good people win, the bad people lose, and there are satisfying endings all around. I have come to lower my expectations with Hiaasen books, so maybe that is why I have started to enjoy them a little more.One irritating quality of Hiaasen's is that he always writes stereotypical redneck /southern characters and religious yokels (or charlatans) in his books. It is a device that gets a little tired. But I will give him his due, he does write them well. One of the highlights of "Lucky You" is the city of Grange, Florida which is populated by people who exemplify my above statements.The most enjoyable parts of the text are when the villains of this piece, two fools named Bodean and Chubb, take center stage. Especially funny are the moments when the above mentioned characters talk politics. Their views on the Constitution, and especially heinous misreading of it, are a real delight.Hiaasen always does a very nice job of creating a large cast of characters who weave in and out of the central plot of the book. In "Lucky You" he does a masterful job of keeping the characters distinct and separate, and yet loosely connected in a pleasing and easy to follow manner.The main female protagonist of this novel is a black woman, and I was annoyed at how much Hiaasen made her harp on race. I feel it was more him exercising his white liberal guilt rather than a story enhancing plot /character point /trait. However, there were a few nice thoughts in the book about the irrationality of hatred and racist thought, so I can forgive his overzealous attempt to make a rather belabored point.The last 10 pages or so of this novel are not very good. However, the previous 430 are an enjoyable romp. "Lucky You" is a fun text, and since that was all I asked of it I was not disappointed.

    A fun adventure that runs from northern Florida down to the Keys
  

*by S***U on Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2021*

Poking some light-hearted fun at present-day journalism, religious scam artists and conspiracy theorists, among others, the author takes us on quite a journey throughout most of Florida as we follow the exploits of a very colorful group of oddballs.There is a lot of greed, some crime, a few dead bodies, an unlikely heroine working as a waitress at Hooters, a histrionic, estranged wife dodging divorce papers and some turtles who become a star attraction.There is also some love and a little sex on the side, but mostly this is just a good fun read.In any case, here is my detailed review:Heroine: 5 starsHero: 5 starsPlot: 4 starsWriting style: 5 starsHumor: 3 starsAction: 3 starsSuspense: 5 starsRomance: 2 starsSensuality: 1.5 starsEnding: HEA.Would I read another book by this author?  Probably.

    A day in Carl's brain
  

*by C***B on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2011*

What fun it would be to spend one day in Carol Hiaasen's brain!!!  Where he comes up with his characters and the situations they put themselves in just makes my heart smile.  His equation for a great book is Einstein-inspired.JoLayne Lucks, a black veterinary assistant has won the big lotto--14 million dollars!  With her winnings, she is going to buy swampland that is being courted by a money launderer to purchase, raze and build a strip mall on...The other winners in the lottery are a couple of shiftless redneck neo-nazis with dreams of creating a militia---Bode and Chubb.A newspaper writer, Tom Krome, is assigned to interview JoLayne.  He is coming off an affair with a born-again Christian wife of a local powerful judge.  The neo-nazi's beat JoLayne up, take her lottery ticket and credit cards and she calls on Tom to help her retrieve what is rightfully hers.Now one things that makes this novel so fascinating the impact of religion and/or religious artifacts on normal people.  JoLayne's hometown has a crying Madonna and a Jesus face in the asphalt with a worshiping devotee dressed in her wedding garb maintaining her pilgrimage at what she sees as her shrine.  Crying Madonna's owners end up baby-sitting JoLayne's 30+ baby yellow slider turtles and how they utilize these critters in their mission is life-changing for Tom Krome's editor.This is just the tip of the dynamic iceberg that Carl Hiaasen creates in Lucky You.  I found myself laughing out loud and then shocked at the next moment.  I love the way he weaves his characters, history and Florida craziness into a delicious gumbo.  Thank you Carl for offering such great respite!!!
