NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A collection of the best Miami Herald columns from the New York Times bestselling author of Squeeze Me on burning issues like animal welfare, polluted rivers, and the broken criminal justice system. If you think the wildest, wackiest stories that Carl Hiaasen can tell have all made it into his hilarious, bestselling novels, think again. Dance of the Reptiles collects the best of Hiaasen’s Miami Herald columns, which lay bare the stories—large and small—that demonstrate anew that truth is far stranger than fiction. Hiaasen offers his commentary—indignant, disbelieving, sometimes righteously angry, and frequently hilarious—on issues like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Bernie Madoff's trial, and the shenanigans of the recent presidential elections. Whether or not you have read Carl Hiaasen before, you are in for a wild ride.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The justice system should recognize and deal with the uniquely repulsive nature of tourist misbehavior. tourists who commit crimes should be thrown in jail with local criminals. #2 The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission recently decided that there is no reason to ban shark-feeding dive excursions. While shark diving is not a natural encounter, it is not easy to get bitten by a shark. #3 Even the dead are not safe in Florida. The attorney general has accused Menorah Gardens Funeral Chapels of burying people in the wrong plots, stacking coffins like Tupperware, reselling occupied grave sites, and cracking open private mortuary vaults to make room for more corpses. #4 Funeral operators contribute heavily to politicians and finance lobby groups that help snuff out attempts at serious reform.
