5.0 out of 5 stars Hip, funny, and quick!, December 12, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Deep Water (Hardcover)
This book is a great send-up of Disney World--though of course it isn't called Disney World--and those weird, sanitized neighboring resort communities. S.V. Date's books are like Carl Hiaasen's. They're based in Florida, and they're fun to read and fast-paced. This book would also be a good gift for anyone who can appreciate poking fun at the corporate culture of Mickey Mouse. True, it's an easy target, but this book does it well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Need a Laugh? Buy this book!, March 1, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Deep Water (Hardcover)
Anyone with any knowledge of Disney and the world of corporate journalism will enjoy this book (except for the corporate executives of Disney and said media conglomerates). It's just as good as Smokeout, his excellent satire on the Florida legislature, which was also dead on target. Forget the comparison with Hiassen, who's also fun. This writer is more subtle, and his characters, while reflecting the peculiarities inherent to the groups he's skewering, are not made into total cartoons.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT Carl Hiaasen, February 26, 2002
By 
Bruce Badger (Bloomington, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deep Water (Hardcover)
This guy writes like he sat down to reproduce the Hiaasen formula, unfortunately without Carls' talent. It's not funny, it's not believable, it's not even interesting.

What a sad third rate imitator.
