One key figure in this book, who shows up as a minor character in Skinny Dip, is someone called Skink. Skink also answers to "The Captain." The Captain is a former high profile Floridian who goes off the radar, and is a little "off." This character reminds me of a friend in the Cincinnati kayaking community. Maybe Hiaasen has met him?
After two good results, I can now say that Hiaasen has joined my list of authors who are safe buys. I'm pretty sure that any novel of his that I pick up will give me a few hours of good fun.
Up next on the Bedside Table are:
- C.S. Forester's Lieutenant Hornblower
- Malcolm Gladwell's Tipping Point
- Nick Hornby's Housekeeping vs. The Dirt
- David Liss' A Conspiracy of Paper
- Bob Dylan's Chronicles Volume One
