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. ( )

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. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0739332309, Audio CD)

Honey Santana–impassioned, willful, possibly bipolar, self-proclaimed “queen of lost causes”–has a scheme to help rid the world of irresponsibility, indifference, and dinnertime sales calls. She’s taking rude, gullible Relentless, Inc., telemarketer Boyd Shreave and his less-than-enthusiastic mistress, Eugenie, into the wilderness of Florida’s Ten Thousand Islands for a gentle lesson in civility.
What she doesn’t know is that she’s being followed by her Honey-obsessed former employer, Piejack. And he doesn’t know he’s being followed by Honey’s still-smitten former-drug-running ex-husband, Perry, and their wise-and-protective-way-beyond-his-years twelve-year-old son, Fry. And when they all pull up on Dismal Key, they don’t know they’re intruding on Sammy Tigertail, a half white-half Seminole failed alligator wrestler, trying like hell to be a hermit despite the Florida State coed who’s dying to be his hostage….
