Crazy comedy from acclaimed adult writer * Flipside *
Hilarious * Carousel *
Fans of Carl Hiaasen's work will be familiar with his distinctive sense of humour and penetrating eye for human failings ... hugely entertaining, but also thought-provoking, addressing some serious social issues * Book Trust *
An extremely funny and entertaining story which also manages ... to say some serious and important things ... an excellent, fast-moving comedy adventure. It is also a highly effective attack on the sham contrivances of reality TV ... highly recommended * School Librarian *
Satire is a powerful weapon in the hands of an expert , and you're more likely to laugh out loud than cry during this book because the situations the characters get themselves into are so utterly off-the-wall... well worth a look. * THE BOOK BAG *
An hilarious, edge of your seat read. Animal lovers everywhere will love this great story about dangerous creatures, which also gives a behind the scenes look at how the worst TV shows are made. -- Julia Eccleshare * LOVEREADING4KIDS *
