Synopsis

Publisher's Note
Ecoterrorists, evil politicians, a millionaire obsessed with Barbie, and an exgovernor named Skink are just a few of the characters who populate this comic novel of politics as unusual in Florida.

Industry reviews
"Hiaasen's characters and scenarios may sound a bit outrageous to readers from places like Chicago, where unscrupulous politicians and greedy developers need only wear a pinky ring to signal their intensions. But anyone who caught a recent 60 Minutes report on how Florida legislators were schmoozed into legalizing cartitle loans that carry a 240-percent annual interest rate won't doubt any of the shenanigans in SICK PUPPY....SICK PUPPY is an infectious page-turner. Fast, funny and extremely relevant, it is a worthy addition to the Hiaasen canon."
Dretzka 

"It isn't so much that you grow fond of Twilly as that you come to revile most of the characters surrounding him, who often edge over into extremes....Almost everyone in SICK PUPPY seems to be angry. But [the] big, affectionate dog amid all the novel's cartoon sadism makes it possible for the reader to laugh."
New York Times - Christopher Lehmann-Haupt (01/02/2000)

"[Hiaasen] is not a literary writer and so far has not, to the best of my knowledge, claimed to be one. He is a journalist...who writes books on the side. They have the speed and crackle of professional journalism, and the lack of pretension that once was common in the business but today, alas, is rather harder to find. They are extensions of Hiaasen's journalism, the central business of which is the identification and condemnation of any and all offenders against Florida's natural and human environments....Almost nothing escapes his eye, and the more ludicrous it is, the more he delights in it."
Washington Post Book World - Jonathan Yardley (01/02/2000)

"...SICK PUPPY begins with an absurd premise and then gets nuttier....Among the delights...are the subplots that enliven the proceedings."
New York Times Book Review - Joe Queenan (01/09/2000)
