Team Rodent: How Disney Devours the World Audiobook (Unabridged)

" ....anyone who attacks mickey mouse is fearless... "

" This guy is ill-informed and makes poor, poor arguments with vague connections that are more implied than anything else. "

" Highly entertaining roast of Disney as a cultural phenomenon. "

" A very fast read that's a little outdated at this point, but eye-opening. "

" I love the way Carl Hiaasen writes his novels. This is the first opinion piece I have read by him and I enjoyed it thoroughly! At only 87 pages it is a very quick and fun read. "

" A quick read. If you are cynical about the greatness of Uncle Walt's empire this will appeal to you. Hiassen was a reporter before he wrote fiction. The book comes across as sensational but also gives the reader plenty to contemplate. "

" We had a great family trip to Disney World. After a really good time in the sticky sweet world of Disney, I came back wanting to cleanse my palate with some pure bile. Thanks, Carl Hiaasen. "

" And I thought I was the only one afraid of Mousewitz. "

" Growing up in Florida and having former in laws working at Disney made this even better! "

" Only Carl Hiaasen, a native Floridian, could expose the hijinx of the world's most famous rat (I mean mouse). Disney seems to be a governmental entity with more power than some third world nations. "

" This book is very "tongue-in-cheek" but if you have worked for Disney it will make total sense. :) "

" I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was humorous and thought provoking. I gave the author more credibility than I had anticipated because Hiassen did give Disney positive feedback at times. All in all, it was a quick, entertaining and informative read. "

" Carl Hiaasen's hatred of Disney World is no secret if you've read his novels. It was funny, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who isn't already a Hiaasen fan or from Florida. "

" I still had the urge to go on Indiana Jones after I finished reading; I doubt that was his goal. "

" Should be required reading for anyone who has ever lived in Florida. "

" It was a good essay, I just wish it was updated. I would love to read Carl's take now, 11+ years later. "

" Mostly just a rambling rant, but an entertaining one. "

" Not that shocking evidence of religion & corporation eating away at "civilization". "

" A quick, if dated, read for Disneyphobes (or Disneyphiles) with a few good appropriately cynical anecdotes. "

" We had a great family trip to Disney World. After a really good time in the sticky sweet world of Disney, I came back wanting to cleanse my palate with some pure bile. Thanks, Carl Hiaasen. "

" carl hiaasen excellent book on the disney machine "

" A short and insightful look into how Disney has shaped American culture and changed the Florida landscape forever. I thought it was an interesting concept that was too short; I would have liked to read more from this author about this topic. "

" One could easily make the case that Microsoft is at least as "evil" an empire as Disney. At least Hiassen makes sniping a Disney and all it stands for fun and a funny read. "

" A very fast read that's a little outdated at this point, but eye-opening. "

" Highly entertaining roast of Disney as a cultural phenomenon. "

" Jeff and I listened to the book on our way to a conference. I suggested a trip in September to Disneyworld and he said no. Emphatically. "

" Hiaasen takes a biting look at the way in which the "happiest place on earth" has changed his beloved Florida for the worst. You might have second thoughts about visiting the world's most famous theme park after finishing this slim, but compulsively readable, volume. "

" Definitely opens your eyes up to the world of Disney. Short and sweet and full of interesting behind the scenes stories I had never heard. The fact that one of Carl Hiassens goals was to get banned from the place is enough reason to read it. "
