Book number 54!

I finished Tourist Season the other night. It was good, but not as funny as some of Carl Hiaasen's other novels. This one is about a group of terrorists who want to take back Florida for nature and the Seminole Indians. They kill off tourists and plot to kidnap the Orange Bowl Queen. It has the usual Hiaasen themes of over development and the loss of nature. This one has a rather poignant ending.

I started to listen to Stormy Weather on audio CD, but after a few minutes, I remembered that I'd read it and hadn't liked it much- the only Hiaasen novel I didn't like. So I put it away, and I'm going back to M.C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin series.
