Why I just love Carl Hiaasen.

[Curmudgeoness]

I am finishing Double Whammy, one of his older books that I had not read before. It has been a while since I have read a Hiaasen book, and I should not wait so long between readings. I love that the bad guys in his books are always punished. And not just punished, but they get what we could call justice. They do not just get arrested. They do not just die in a shootout. Their crimes just catch up to them. Yes, Hiaasen is a sick writer, and I find myself appalled by the things that happen to people, but at least I can say they get what they deserve.

I always find myself laughing at the idiocy of the characters, and the predictaments everyone gets into. And especially in the older books, there is always Skink.
