Would you consider the audio edition of Sick Puppy to be better than the print version?
I do enjoy listening to Carl Hiaasen novels in the car, but I'm sure I'd enjoy the printed word as well. Sick Puppy is a good one for the commuter -- not too hard to follow and plenty of good laughs.
What did you like best about this story?
Skink is always awesome. But in this case I really enjoyed Twilley Spree's antics.
Have you listened to any of George Newbern’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, Seabiscuit: An American Legend. Both books were well-read.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Well, one or two moments were moving, but I don't want to write a spoiler.
Any additional comments?
Hiaasen's novels are satirical crusades against government corruption, corporate greed, and most of all, land development and other crimes against nature. He does not spare either side of the aisle, but I suspect that if you tune in to conservative talk radio, you will not like this book. On the other hand, if you are inclined to make donations to The Nature Conservancy and similar-minded groups, Hiaasen may stop your tears for at least a little while.
