My favorite Carl Hiaasen is Skinny Dip, it is about this guy who tries to kill his wife, she survives, and torments him. This was the first Carl Hiaasen book that I read, and I loved it. They are all pretty good though..........Skin tight was funny as well.
I've only finished two - Sick Puppy and Basket Case. I liked both of them, but if I had to pick it would be Sick Puppy. Started Lucky You[/i] awhile ago, but haven't finished. Carl Hiaasen's Official Web Site - Books
"Native Tongue," to me, was the most over-the-top book of his. An incredibly funny read. I like all his novels, but I think the most recent ones have lost some of their raw and subversive energy. Either that or the plot is so similar that I'm become inured to them.

I have to agree. It was my first Carl Hiaasen book and it was so much more engrossing than my subsequent reads. I would have to say Skinny Dip would be my second favorite.

I've read 2 of his earlier works---Powder Blue and Trap Line. I thought they were both pretty good "thrillers" and perfect summer beach reads...Dickens or Thackeray, Hiassen ain't...but he's not bad.
I like Striptease best. Much better than the movie, of course.
No kidding. How did they manage to combine a Carl Hiassen book with Demi Moore gettin' naked and make a tedious movie?
