Follows Honey Santana as the crazy girl attempts to "educate" a manner-less and clueless telemarketer. The first 3/4 of the book is pretty good but towards the end it seemed to lose purpose and was more like a description of meetings and agendas. Also, this book had little substance that might grab us up and make us take notice. Telemarketers? Not enough anger there to call home about, or call anyone else at dinner time for that matter! Nature Girl is easy, fun reading, perfect for summer days. It is easy to pick up, but it is also easy to put down. Nothing compelling here, just a fun romp. Set primarily amidst islands in the Keys of Florida, the characters are just plain odd, every last one of them. Remarkably, the main character, Honey Santana, is likable, in spite of being vindictive and psychotic, traits I generally do not associate with "charming." Some of the passages were a bit off-putting for me, but a quick skim through them did not seem to interfere with the story, either. Nature Girl is the first adult novel I have read by Hiaasen. Reviewers contend that this is not his writing at its best. I will venture into his world again. no reviews | add a review

As ever, a reliably hilarious tale of antics in Florida - this time with less political commentary than some of the other Hiaasen books I have read, but compensated by even more vivid characters, only one of whom is too unpleasant to be believable. Excellent stuff. (
