Carl Hiaasen is a great author. Like Barry, he's from the Miami area and his writings are a hoot. I think of Barry as more into wacky observations and maybe short stories where Hiaasen is move of a novelist. His books are funny, his characters are great, he obviously loves what Florida once was and is angry as to what in many ways it has become. I can't wait for whatever next book Hiassen releases, whether it's one of his adult novels (the ones with two-word titles) or young adult novels (the ones with one-word titles).
