yendiSo, why didn't anyone tell me that there was an author who was basically like an gonzo version of Carl Hiaasen years ago?
I finished Florida Roadkill last week, and am a few pages away from the end of Hammerhead Ranch Motel. The latter just featured the funniest sex scene this side of an Anita Blake novel, only this time, it was intentionally funny. Both books feature murder, mayhem, Florida history, and some brilliant moments.
Definitely not for everyone, but if you can tolerate loads of violence, lots of drug use, and bad things happening to bad people (often in heftier doses than the law would ever allow), the books are a blast. The first book provides a few more accessible characters, but the closest thing to a hero in the second one makes Dexter seem like a classical hero.
