Sick Puppy is written by Carl Hiaasen.
Sick Puppy was published in 2000 and was an instant Carl Hiaasen masterpiece. I read the book then and I wanted to reread it in 2025. I needed some laughter and Sick Puppy delivered!
[I am rereading all of Carl Hiaasen’s books to prepare myself for his new publication, Fever Beach, to be published in May 2025.]
I was instantly plunged into the depths of Florida at its most ‘Floridian’ - tourist mecca, sun-soaked bastion of ultra-right extremism, wanton greed, power and corruption, plus total destruction of its fragile environment.
When Palmer Stoat (well-known Florida lobbyist and fixer) notices the black pick up truck following him on the highway, he fears his precious Range Rover is about to be carjacked. But Twilly Spree, the man tailing Stoat, has vengeance, not sport utility vehicles on his mind.
Idealistic and pathologically short-tempered, Twilly has dedicated himself to saving Florida’s wilderness from runaway destruction. After watching Stoat blithely dump a trail of fast-food litter out the window, Twilly decides to teach him a lesson.
What follows is pure Hiaasen mayhem.
Dognapping eco-terrorists, bogus big-game hunters, a Republican only hooker, an infamous ex-governor who’s gone back to nature, singing toads, iguana skins and cured rattlesnake hides, Barbie doll fetishes - the list goes on!
Each and every one of Hiaasen’s books is an engaging, mind-blowing, fall off your seat in uncontrollable laughter, reads.
Highly recommended with my utmost thanks for the laughter and satire. *****
