Literary Craving

What can I say about Carl Hiaasen's Flush? First, read it! You'll have a wonderful time. At least I know I did.

This is both the first novel I've read by Hiaasen and the first in which ecology plays such an important role.What's interesting is that this is a story in which the scope of evil turns painfully palpable because it doesn't remain between the covers of a fictional story but reverberates in our real world. Besides, the timing for reading this novel was just perfect because of the "pulp war" going on down here. It helped me to fully understand and share the fear of those who live daily with this threat.

As regards the characters, I just loved them all. Chiefly the female characters They are all so powerful and independent; no damsels in distress, but equal partners in everything to their zany male counterparts. Abbey and Shelley definitely stand out.

All in all, it is an appealing econovel with interesting twists, witty remarks and endearing characters and even though the ending is quite predictable, why would anyone want it ending otherwise?
