I love Hiaasen, and he is in top form here. I don't rate it higher because, though his points are well taken, it's such a rant that I didn't really enjoy reading it.

Hilarious as his novels are, Hiaasen can also savage companies like no one can except maybe Michael Moore at his peak.
I wish Hiaasen would take on other topics like this, but they'd probably have to be relevant to Florida. Mar a Lago might be too easy, but has it been done? No one could do it better, I imagine.

A bit dated now but a funny read about some of the less magical elements of Disney Co.
I really enjoyed this book. It was very short (less than 100 pages) and unapologetically anti-Disney. After reading the much longer "Disneywar" not too long ago, it was refreshing to read something that not only talked about the many Disney controversies in further detail but also in a humorous way. Obviously this was a very biased piece, but it was so enertaining that I'm glad I happened upon it.
This book is incredible, and forever changed by mind about the Disney machine. While some may laugh about a class in the Sociology of Disney, and blow it off as cake, I learned much about this and other American corporations that come off as "friend brands." A very short book, I highly recommend that everyone swayed by the Disney Marketing agenda read this and see the lives behind the scenes...and the amazing writing doesn't hurt.
