Dance of the Reptiles: Rampaging Tourists, Marauding Pythons, Larcenous Legislators, Crazed Celebrities, and Tar-Balled Beaches: Selected Columns Description
If you think the wildest, wackiest stories that Carl Hiaasen can tell have all made it into his hilarious, best-selling novels, think again. Dance of the Reptiles collects the best of Hiaasen's Miami Herald columns, which lay bare the stories - large and small - that demonstrate anew that truth is far stranger than fiction.
Hiaasen offers his commentary - indignant, disbelieving, sometimes righteously angry, and frequently hilarious - on burning issues like animal welfare, polluted rivers, and the broken criminal justice system as well as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Bernie Madoff's trial, and the shenanigans of the recent presidential elections. Whether or not you have read Carl Hiaasen before, you are in for a wild ride.

The author is a widely read columnist for the notoriously liberal Miami Herald. Fittingly, liberals will love this book ... conservatives not so much. The huge political divide in America is the real tragedy. If we could only put politics aside and read more books like this for the wit, humor and parody of modern America that it represents, the nation might be in a better place. Put your ideology aside and try reading this book ... you may well be in store for an enjoyable expedition in tweaking the foibles of living in our contemporary world.

Hiaasen's columns are like reading short stories about the people and things you love to hate. Love to read a couple each day.
