Who is the Real Sick Puppy?

Date of Review:  Apr 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: Hilarious and fast moving story with a good moral; lots of fun, great characters-they almost seem real. Very moral conservative folks wouldn't like it.
Review: When I first purchased this book, I did not realize that there was an actual, literal 'sick puppy' amongst the cast of characters. That particular sick puppy, Boodle/McGuinn, the Labrador Retriever, just added to the fun (and general mayhem) in this...

The puppy is about the only thing sick about this book.

Date of Review:  Jun 2, 2000
Review: I must confess that "Sick Puppy" is the only Carl Hiassen novel I've read, but I might soon have to remedy that. Hiaasen writes a good story, and then makes it funny as hell.

The title of the book refers to Boodle, a labrador retriever...

  New York Times: "It isn't so much that you grow fond of Twilly as that you come to revile most of the characters surrounding him, who often edge over into extremes....Almost everyone in SICK PUPPY seems to be angry. But [the] big, affectionate dog amid all the novel's cartoon sadism makes it possible for the reader to laugh."
