Carl Hiaasen: Paradise Screwed (USA 2009)

From the Publisher:
"Takes readers on a head-shaking romp through a south Florida that they won't find in any tourist brochure... Hiaasen's writing is fearless and the targets endless: politicians, municipal employees, judges, lobbyists, zoning boards, evangelists, athletic franchises, environmental scofflaws, Disney, the NRA, Big Tobacco... Pulls no punches and keeps his sense of humor and outrage firmly intact." -- Publishers Weekly

"These sharp, amusing pieces confirm Hiaasen's status as a bird so rare -- the humorous popular novelist with an acutely critical social perspective--that he's practically an endangered species." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Along with Kick Ass, this is one of the best collections of occasional journalism published in recent years." -- Booklist (starred review)
