Poll question: Favorite Carl Hiaasen book

This guy cracks me up. He has some pretty strange things going on in his stories, and some of the characters are pretty bizarre.
I only listed his main novels.
So...???

1. I can't pick! It's like choosing among your children...

The one I keep coming back to is "Lucky You" but the battle of the press releases in "Native Tongue" is still one of the funniest sequences in literature.

2. I am rereading Stormy Weather again

Skink cracks me up. I hear he is in the new one, but I haven't read it yet. I have to wait for the paperback.

3. Which Hiasson novel is the one in which the "hitman".................

is attacked by a "killer" Doberman and winds up trudging around Florida with with a dog's head attached to his wrist?

4. That's "Double Whammy"

I also thought the guy with the weed whacker for a hand was funny also in "Skintight".

5. He's got a thing for "prosthetics" on the villian's arm or hand...

...in addition to the weed wacker and the dog's head, there's the golf club in "Strip Tease"; the blue crab in "Lucky You".

Symbolism...is not my strong suit :shrug: let's discuss.

Could it be that these guys represent the developer "machines" that are ransacking Florida and its environment? Or the conflict between nature (the dog and the crab) and humans?

I suspect I'd love them all about equally
