This book was fun! I enjoyed the quirky characters and situations and it was a quick, engrossing read. Only problem is when I compared my reaction with the cover reviews... it seemed like I'd just finished a totally different book than THEY were talking about! Did I just plain miss the seriousness that the others saw, the depth their reviews implied? Was I overly swayed by Elmore, Hiassen & others - seeing only the Florida setting & - therefore - EXPECTING a zany tale?Regardless - I liked those books and I liked this one, too!
