NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"Hysterically funny...Hiaasen at his satirical best." - USA Today

Two honeymooners wake up early, make love twice, and brace themselves for a spectacle they won't be watching from the sidelines. A seductive con artiste stumbles into a scam that promises more cool cash than the lottery. A shotgun-toting mobile home salesman is about to close a deal with disaster. A law school dropout will be chasing one Gaboon viper, a troop of storm-shocked monkeys, and a newfound love life, while tourists by the thousands bail from the Florida Keys. We're now entering the hurricane zone, where hell and hilarity rule. And in the hands of the masterful, merciless Carl Hiaasen, we're going to have some weather.

Villains you love to hate

Love his writing. Funny and absurdly ridiculous bad guys. Great fun. None of his books are as brilliantly funny as his latest, Squeeze Me, but still fun.

If you want a light hearted environmental read
, this is the book for you! I love Skink’s personality and I wish the best for Jim Tile.

A romp through a hurricane aftermath

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

This wild cast of characters all come together after an unnamed hurricane hits South Florida hard.

Max and Bonnie Lamb are on the honeymoon in Orlando when the hurricane hits. Max drives them down to the destruction zone and begins filming with his handy cam. Bonnie walks away from him in disgust, right into the arms of Augustine Herrera. He's out searching for his recently deceased uncle's exotic animals. Max is found by the former governor, who now calls himself Skink. Skink abducts Max.

Evie Marsh, missing out on sleeping with a Kennedy, joins up with fellow con artist Snapper in an insurance scam. The plan derails quickly as the mark they choose, Tony Torres, is smarter than the average Floridian. He's also a shifty mobile home salesman who sold Ira Jackson's mother a "safe" mobile home. She died in the storm and Ira gets his revenge on Tony. Evie and Snapper modify their plans and bring in insurance adjuster Fred Dove to the mix.

Throw in a really bad home inspector (so bad, he doesn't get out of his vehicle to inspect the house), a conned Frenchman, an angry homeowner named Gar of all names, and Jim Tile and you have all the necessary people of a Carl Hiaasen story. It's witty and funny at times. Mostly, it shows how some people will do anything for a little bit of insurance money.

Creeps & crooks converge on disaster-struck Florida

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

Carl Hiaasen is following his usual agenda in this book - attacking the natural enemies of Florida - insensitive tourist and rapacious economic opportunists.

The scene is Southern Florida after "the hurricane of the century." Many homes have been reduced to rubble, because of shoddy workmanship perpetrated by corrupt construction people and politicians.

All sorts of creeps and crooks are streaming into the Miami area to take advantage of the disaster, from unlicensed roofers to insurance scammers.

We encounter two fun good guys from previous books - Skink, the runaway ex-governor turned swamp bum and avenger; and Jim Tile, Skink's friend the black trooper. Also on the side of the good is a young man named Augustine who has a casual attitude towards life's betrayals since almost dying in an airline accident; and Bonnie, an appealing young women who has just discovered on her Disneyland honeymoon that her husband is a jerk.

My favorite petty crook in the book is a corrupt building inspector who keeps performing botched animal sacrifices in an attempt to curse his enemies Santeria-style.

The only problem with this book is that there are so many colorful characters, and so many bizarre plot threads, that the narrative lacks focus, and the end goes on too long.

Still I enjoyed the book very much, even if it's not my favorite Hiaasen.

Trashed Trailers and Skull-"Jugglery"

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 9, 2005

Verified Purchase

Carl Hiaasen has delighted readers by skewering Florida institutions ranging from trophy bass tournaments to televangelism to cosmetic surgery. It is a killer hurricane that is the unlikely backdrop for "Stormy Weather". A host of talented writers - Dave Barry and Tim Dorsey among the best - feast on the seemingly endless stream of absurdity provided by Florida's uniquely bizarre mix of rednecks, lowlifes, shysters, snowbirds, and corrupt politicians. But none succeed in capturing Florida with the biting irony and black humor that Carl Hiaasen brings to the pages. "Stormy Weather" is another outstanding example of social satire at its best: the insufferably shallow New York advertising man, the terminally corrupt Miami code inspector, the low-life con artist and her criminal sidekick, the sleazy mobile-home salesman and his cheating wife. Back from Hiaasen's "Double Whammy" is the aberrant but lovable road-kill eating, swamp-loving "Skink", and black state trooper Jim Tile, as close to normal as one will find in a Hiaasen novel. Even the "hero" is wacky - a human skull-juggling proprietor of an exotic wildlife exhibit. In the wake of a massively destructive hurricane, "Stormy Weather" chronicles the fictional - but highly plausible - descent of the swindlers, scammers, and criminals to prey on the victims of the storm. If Hiaasen's usual complement of oddball characters is not enough, the cast is supplemented with packs of storm-liberated wild animals prowling the Miami suburbia. Hiaasen's brilliant expose of the dark side of human nature is never preachy, but whose caustic humor leaves the reader alternating between knowing grins and out-loud guffaws. In anticipation of the author's inevitably unique forms of justice that will be meted out to the miscreants, the pages fly. In part poignant, biting, bawdy but always funny, "Stormy Weather" is another fine example of Hiaasen's literary wit.

So Funny

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

I was referred to this author by my uncle, a retired elementary school teacher/principal, and thought I would give it a try. There is an entire series. I did not start with the first though because the intro did not entice me to want to read it, but after skimming through others in the series, I decided to go with this one first.
This book is a hoot! The author, who resides in FL, talks about places and events, but with a sci-fi, unbelievable to anyone, funny spin. The characters are totally fiction, and he brings them in and out throughout the book, but you remember who they are when they return.
Was worth the purchase.

Brilliant, funny, booko by an author who isn't well known in the UK. Neither the Norfolk Libraries even list Hiaasen's books, let alone carry them eben in their main libraries. Shame. Condition of the pre-read book was as described and delivery was good
