Publisher Description

Honey Santana–impassioned, willful, possibly bipolar, self-proclaimed “queen of lost causes”–has a scheme to help rid the world of irresponsibility, indifference, and dinnertime sales calls. She’s taking rude, gullible Relentless, Inc., telemarketer Boyd Shreave and his less-than-enthusiastic mistress, Eugenie, into the wilderness of Florida’s Ten Thousand Islands for a gentle lesson in civility. What she doesn’t know is that she’s being followed by her Honey-obsessed former employer, Piejack. And he doesn’t know he’s being followed by Honey’s still-smitten former-drug-running ex-husband, Perry, and their wise-and-protective-way-beyond-his-years twelve-year-old son, Fry. And when they all pull up on Dismal Key, they don’t know they’re intruding on Sammy Tigertail, a half white-half Seminole failed alligator wrestler, trying like hell to be a hermit despite the Florida State coed who’s dying to be his hostage….

"Love this south Florida novel. Kept me interested with a story line that touches on the interconnectedness of life and the ways our actions and feelings unfold. Well written and lots of twist...I actually listened to the audio version and the reader was GREAT! It made the book really enjoyable."

    " This was my first book by Carl and I am sure to read another one. It was fun, suprising and quite crazy. Loved the characters. It made me laugh. Quite the twist throughout and love the fact that he poked at the enviromentalist issues with heart...lol If I could give it a 3.5 I would. "

    " This book, like all Hiaasen novels, was very entertaining. I didn't enjoy it as much as some of his others, but Hiaasen is always good for a fluffy escapist-type read. "

    " The title certainly fits. Honey is almost obsessive about the environment and manners. A sweet and crazy romance peopled with losers. Some of 'em I liked and some of 'em....eeyew... It's scary that there're really people like that out there. An enjoyable read out in the Everglades with a kayak tour of some of the 10,000 islands along with hostages, helicopter rescues, and love. "

    " I loved this one. I am now a big fan of Carl Hiasen, and want to eventually read all his books. I loved the romp through the Everglades and the humor throughout the book. For those who have never read a book by this author, well, they just don't know what they are missing! "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " Hiaasen always makes me laugh out loud. Honey gets one too many dinner time telemarketing calls and sets out to restore manners to denizens of the Everglades, trailed by a assortment of misfits. It's almost alarming how familiar these very odd people seem. "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " Again, another really good read. I'm telling everyone, if you want a book full of crazy characters and crazy situations, you have to read Carl's books. The story lines are great, the books don't drag because there is always something going on. I promise you won't be disappointed. "

    " ehh. just not that great. i liked the main character Honey - she's a nut case w/ a cause, but the book is all fluff and there wasn't much to it. "

    " Other than it makes us men look like dunces and con men, ti was a very enjoyable read. I haven't spent much time in Florida, and being out in LA, I'm not sure when I will, I appreciate the descriptions on the landscape very much. "

    " I wish I could give this 3 1/2 stars...it's an entertaining read, certainly better than I expected, but fine literature it's not. It's a good choice when you simply want a decent novel to delve into. "
