Praise for Double Whammy
“A raucous, mordant whopper of a fish story with more weird and
bloodthirsty creatures above the water than in it.”—Los Angeles
Times
“A day-glo version of reality that is insanely funny—and
scary.”—Boston Herald
“Twists and turns with breathtaking speed...Climb aboard, Bubba,
strap yourself in. You’re gonna like this ride.”—The New York Times
Book Review
“Great fun...I went for Double Whammy hook, line, and
sinker.”—Washington Post Book World
“Carl Hiaasen’s vivid imagination serves up a seven-course meal in
Double Whammy. It’s a spread where every course is thick, rare, red
meat...You’ll have a good time.”—Houston Post
“A stewpot full of the strange, the wacky, the interesting, and the
bizarre...zany, diverting, marvelously grotesque.”—Newsday
“A savagely funny crime adventure...bristles all over with Swiftian
wit...For all its loony-tunes characters and their mondo-bizarro
adventure, there’s something about this mordant, comic fantasy that
says it’s just too crazy not to be true.”—Miami Herald
