This is an interesting contrast.
I've never cared too much for the Leonard books set in
Florida. And from time to time I'll quit on a book by a
new-to-me writer when its attempts at comedy strike me as too
much of a poor Leonard imitation. I'd never thought to
consider that it is actually a poor Hiaasen imitation.
Chris (who thinks that John's writing does a pretty good job
of finding humor the humor in everyday life as well)
