The work of Dave Barry was recommended to me by a fellow review writer after I wrote a review about Native Tongue a book by Carl Hiaasen. Indeed Hiaasen gets a mention in the forward of this book and certainly the pair share both a similar background and a funny writing style with the emphasis on using subject matter which focuses on corruption and big business.

There is an impressive collection of writers offering positive comments on the cover of the book, including fellow Floridian Carl Hiaasen, who has written numerous works of humorous crime fiction set in the state. The book concerns the Arnold family, Eliot – a struggling ...
