Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER If you think the wildest, wackiest stories that Carl Hiaasen can tell have all made it into his hilarious, bestselling novels, think again. Dance of the Reptiles collects the best of Hiaasen’s Miami Herald columns, which lay bare the stories--large and small--that demonstrate anew that truth is far stranger than fiction. Hiaasen offers his commentary—indignant, disbelieving, sometimes righteously angry, and frequently hilarious—on burning issues like animal welfare, polluted rivers, and the broken criminal justice system as well as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Bernie Madoff's trial, and the shenanigans of the recent presidential elections. Whether or not you have read Carl Hiaasen before, you are in for a wild ride.

"Carl Hiaasen on his home turf of Florida again absolutely delights. This is one more unputdownable book from him.
Filled with weird chactercters and wild events; There is Marco Rubio with his genius thirst quencher and there is a goat fuck ( literally). And no fiction either. Arte Johnson's narration makes Carl Hiaasen's wit and uncanny observations come alive in a way that is sheer joy to listen."
