 Classic August 16, 2007
Nature Girl is classic Carl Hiaasen. He takes crazy Florida and gives it a little twist and it's hilarious.
 More Thrills and Laughs from Carl Hiassen August 5, 2007

Rollicking adventure with a cast of thousands (mostly mosquitoes and fire ants); this is delightful entertaining from Carl Hiassen in his typical best, poking fun along the way. Thoroughly enjoyable if you like Carl Hiassen's style. Tightly written, quick paced.
 Disappointing July 26, 2007
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I wanted to like this book, I really did. I read Skinny Dip and really enjoyed it. I went back and read more books by Carl Hiaasen as a result. This book just didn't do anything for me. In fact, I can't even get through it. Tried for a second time just recently and still couldn't finish. I think my big problem is that I just don't like many of the characters in the book. I found them rather irritating. With that said, I like Carl Hiaasen's work, as a whole, and will still check out anything new he writes. I'd say, if you want to read Carl Hiaasen, start with something else.
Eclectic and border-line cast of Hiassen July 25, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Hiaasen is absolutely a fabulous author!! His novel brings together a cast of eclectic and "border-line" personalities into the swamps and keys of Florida with an undertone of environmental responsibility. An "off-her-meds" woman decides to teach a lesson to a telemarketer and his mistress by luring them into a lesson teaching get-away. Her ex-husband is trying to keep an eye on her, as is her 12 year old son. They end up crossing paths with a half-white half-Seminole young man who is hiding from the law due to the death of his first client and his voluntary hostage, a young co-ed looking for adventure and possible romance.
This tale is entertaining and intelligent as always in Hiaasen's approach to his anti-development message. Hiaasen delivers his message in an entertaining intricate story. This is not his best novel but when you are talking Hiaasen they are all good, this is just a little less great than his others.
 Pretty awful book for a Carl H. book July 18, 2007
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
The 2 stars is in comparison to the rest of c.h.'s work.
this book was a terrible disappointment. I struggled to finish it and I got really bored with the content. Usually this author writes good books but this one was particularly awful.
Better luck next time
