This is another hugely enjoyable Skink book. There’s probably not a lot more to be said, but for the record:
This time a zealous eco-warrior with a huge trust fund and anger management issues takes action against a serious litterbug he sees on the highway...and becomes involved in political chicanery, the wanton destruction of Florida’s flora, fauna and natural beauty, general scumbaggery from people who profit therefrom...etc. It’s a Carl Hiaasen novel – what do you expect? And, as usual, it’s funny, it’s very readable and carries its serious underlying messages lightly with satire, farce and some very satisfying come-uppances. The Captain is on excellent form and it’s just an all-round pleasure.
If you know Carl Hiaasen you won’t need any urging from me to read this. If not, do give him a try – he’s great. Warmly recommended.
