"“Sometimes insane is the way to go.�
That phrase pretty much sums up this Dave Barry novel. Flat out insane, of the good kind. His forte is developing crazy characters that take stupid to a whole new level. And all I wanted to do is see if they would survive until the end of the story.
The blurb explains the plot better than I could. Suffice it to say, it’s bonkers from the word go, building up until it comes to a wild conclusion. Despite the craziness, I was able to easily envision each scene.
I recommend this for fans of Carl Hiaasen.
Interesting fact - while reading this I just read that pythons are moving north out of the Everglades, already reaching West Palm Beach and Fort Myers. I foresee a sequel!
My thanks to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster for an advance copy of this book."

"Dave Barry is in top form here, with a story that could only take place in the state of Florida. It's laugh out loud funny and will leave you pondering what the heck is going on down there? Throw in some lost gold, weeded out amateur monster hunters, and mob hitmen and you have all the makings of a screwball comedy. Would definitely recommend!"
