tommyro 's review for:
Nature Girl
by Carl Hiaasen
If you can get past the obviously forced lengths Hiaasen goes to in order to make his characters unnaturally bizarre, then you'll enjoy their antics and the convoluted plots. It's as if he thinks up unnatural actions and then pastes characters onto them, hoping that if he stitches enough oddball antics together he'll have a fleshed out character. Instead of doing it the other way around, which is how it should be. It's strange for the sake of strange and not a natural outgrowth of the character. Donald Westlake and Elmore Leonard are the masters of the right way to do and they make it look effortless and easy. But still, Hiaasen is entertaining.
