Hiaasen delivers a culpable caper that s a pleasurable hit.
    USA Today

A riot ... It s one thing to be twisted and funny. It s quite another to manage twisted, funny, and serious.... Hiaasen consistently juggles the heavy with the light.
    Detroit News

Frisky.... The real music here is Mr. Hiaasen s self-assured banter.
    The New York Times

Riled, righteous, and rip-roaring funny ... Hiaasen s novels ought to bear the warning label: may be hazardous to your sides. They may split.
   New York Newsday

[Hiaasen] is head and shoulders above the rest.... Straight crime fiction with a biting, satiric edge, and it proves what his hardcore fans have known for a long time he is, at heart, simply a great storyteller and a better writer.
    Charleston Post and Courier

Great good fun ... Basket Case is typical Hiaasen. In other words, it s wildly hyperbolic, with lots of digs at South Florida's zany lifestyle and (in this case) a total smearing of corporate journalism.
