Skin Tight
Skin Tight | Carl Hiaasen

"Good, mean fun...A twisting, high-speed ride on a roller coaster without brakes." SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE Somebody wants Mick Stranahan dead, and the list of possible players is long: the plastic surgeon with the extremely shaky hands, the sleazy lawyer who advertises, the TV host whose taste for sensationalism is exceeded only by his vanity, and the hit man whose skin problems could fill a comprehensive (if bizarre) medical textbook. The whole thing is downright harrowing. It's Hiaasen at his best. And his best is very, very good. A Selection of the Literary Guild, the Doubleday Book Club and the Mystery Guild

Mehso-so

This is the first book I‘ve read by Carl Hiaasen. I plan on reading another of his stories. He has quite a sense of humor. It reminded me of Seinfeld tv story. Several absurd events that all come together at the end.

1. I love Carl Hiassen‘s books, and they‘re especially funny if you live in South Florida.
2. Our daughter is feeling better and also just texted that she has an interview for her perfect job next Wednesday 🤞

I read this several years ago for a book club that‘s now defunct. It‘s a ridiculous mystery set in Florida, making fun of plastic surgery, landscapers, and other “typical” #Florida things. #50states

Current read - and also my first loan from the library here. Am thrilled to have a library card - it may help curb my buying impulses, which would be helpful given that I have to get everything back to the UK in six weeks time...

When I want to read something to make me laugh I turn to Carl Hiaasen. They are silly, ecofriendly, and set in FL (hence the flamingos).

When I want a fun read I always look for anything by Carl Hiassen, especially since I have already completed the Raylan Givens series by Elmore Leonard.

Bambolina_81 Hiassen is a legend! Killer funny 😂 8y
Cinfhen I haven't read Hiassen but his book titles and covers always scream FUN!!! 8y
Blueberry @Cinfhen his books are also pro-environment. 8y
NataliePatalie I like the pool background 🏊🏊🏊 8y
Blueberry @NataliePatalie Thanks. It was perfect for Hiassen books. And the Raylan Givens also began in Miami. 8y

Here a few of my funny books. I'm a big fan of snark á la early Martin Amis. #Augustofpages #bookphotochallenge Day 20

KVanRead The Rachel Papers is one the funniest best things! 8y
CherylDeFranceschi @KVanRead I know. I love it for the way you can see the beginnings of Martin's craft, too. 8y
cariashley I've always wanted to read Martin Amis but never knew where to start - what would you recommend?? 8y

KVanRead @CherylDeFranceschi Yes, totally. This book is a fave reading memory for me too - I found it at a neighbor's on last day of house sitting- took a peak and then dropped everything to read it before she came home😂 8y
Hooked_on_books I love Carl Hiaasen! I gobble everything he writes. 8y
GuiltyFeat @cariashley The obvious place to start with Amis is Money but I would suggest that Time's Arrow is more accessible and that if you read the autobiography Experience, you will want to read everything he has ever written. 8y
CherylDeFranceschi @GuiltyFeat @cariashley I think reading everything he had written is a good thing! 8y
katedensen I've been meaning to read Amis forever--which do you recommend I try? 8y
KarenUK Love 'the Rachel papers'! Great movie too... 8y
CherylDeFranceschi @katedfisher This is first. Not his best, but a really fun coming of age story. If you want non-fiction, I would say do Experience. Maybe London Fields if you prefer fiction. 8y
CherylDeFranceschi @KarenUK I love the movie! 8y
