For the record...I just want to say that Carl Hiaasen and Janet Evanovich
are the only two authors who have ever written a book that made me laugh so hard, milk came out my nose!! Carl Hiaasen uses sarcasm to the extreme in his latest novel. He makes fun of everyone in the entertainment world including, but not limited to actresses, actors, agents, body guards, and especially the paparazzi. While I didn't enjoy this novel as much as his previous works, it was a funny, light read that kept me entertained.

The novel follows a once popular singer as she attempts to release a new album and put herself back on the charts. Her parents have hired a double to keep the paparazzi from finding out and publicizing her many overdoses and partying ways. When the double is accidentally kidnapped by a disillusioned paparazzi, chaos ensues as everyone scrambles to cover up their cover ups. Characters include the once governor of Florida who now lives in the swamps, a scarred body guard with a weed whacker in place of an arm, and a set of parents who occasionally want the best for their self-destructive daughter/money maker!!
