Squeeze Me
Squeeze Me | Carl Hiaasen
19 posts | 17 read | 9 to read
From the best-selling author of Skinny Dip and Razor Girl, a new novel that captures the Trump era with Hiaasen's inimitable savage humor and wonderful, eccentric characters. A surefire best seller. Carl Hiaasen's Squeeze Me is set among the landed gentry of Palm Beach. A prominent high-society matron--who happens to be a fierce supporter of the President and founding member of the POTUSSIES--has gone missing at a swank gala. When the wealthy dowager, Kiki Pew Fitzsimmons, is later found dead in a concrete grave, panic and chaos erupt. The President immediately declares that Kiki Pew was the victim of rampaging immigrant hordes. This, as it turns out, is far from the truth. Meanwhile a bizarre discovery in the middle of the road brings the First Lady's motorcade to a grinding halt (followed by some grinding between the First Lady and a lovestruck Secret Service agent). Enter Angie Armstrong, wildlife wrangler extraordinaire, who arrives at her own conclusions after she is summoned to the posh island to deal with a mysterious and impolite influx of huge, hungry pythons . . . Completely of the moment, full of vim and vigor, and as irreverent as can be, Squeeze Me is pure, unadulterated Hiaasen.

⭐️⭐️⭐️
Not terrible, not wonderful. I didn't find this one as funny as some of his other books. Narration by Scott Brick was pretty good.

Book one finished for #20in4

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I‘ve never read a book by Hiaasen before but now I want to read all of his books 😆 I really loved this satire on the former president, his followers, and how this country abuses and takes advantage of wildlife. It was fun yet handled serious topics with respect. Really enjoyed this one.

I‘m probably not the best person to review a Carl Haissen book since Ive read him once before and didn‘t care it. I‘m just not a fan or his type of humor. It‘s obvious and silly.

Making fun of silly wealthy women and tromp is easy. I like my humor more clever like Grady Hendrix. Satire. Just a matter of taste.

The vibrant colors proved to be too hard to resist. Plus, having now read multiple rave reviews, as well as having a friend recommend it enthusiastically as a perfect book to read right now, I decided I could use a book that would make me laugh. A few other books to finish first but I hope to get to this one soon!

Hooked_on_books It‘s so good! I laughed a whole lot. 😆 3y
TracyReadsBooks @Hooked_on_books That‘s great to hear! I might just have to start it tonight. Sounds like a perfect weekend read. 3y

Amazing as always!! Hiaasen spins a story about a wildlife capture expert who gets caught up in a murder investigation involving a Burmese python, an illegal immigrant, a wealthy enclave of Palm Beach widows and a president who seems awfully familiar! Hilarity and chaos ensue, predictably!! 😂 Another home run from Hiaasen and his friend Skink. 💜🐍🤩

Seekingtardis I got to meet him once at a book signing, he was an absolute peach!! 4y
IamIamIam @Seekingtardis That's awesome!! We went to a signing for Skink: No Surrender but I didn't know it was a MG book so I felt totally stupid and flustered, LMAO! 😳 4y
Kimzey Had some good laughs with this one! Goodness knows, I needed the humor. Love Carl Hiaasen! 4y

LibrarianRyan @Ericalambbrown I prefer his kids books. But his adult books are fun too. If you want to try one try Chomp. It‘s my favorite. 4y

If you know Hiaasen, you know he‘s a fervent environmentalist who can‘t stand greed and writes 🍌👖books. This is classic Hiaasen for the Trump era, beautifully skewering the Cheeto and his supporters. I snort laughed my way through it. Fantastic!

BarbaraBB Ooh, sounds good. I don‘t know him well, only read 4y
Hooked_on_books @BarbaraBB I started reading him a couple decades ago, so I‘ve read many but not all of his books. I‘m pretty sure my mom introduced me to him—she‘s reading this one now. He‘s so clever. 4y

One of the most political books I've ever read from Hiaasen, other than his essay about how much he hates Disney... lol
It's easy to see how Hiaasen feels about the current administration, even if he only uses codenames for POTUS and FLOTUS... 😂😂

Reggie I think he‘s hilarious. I read his book of articles about Florida many years ago and just thought it was sad all that has happened to Florida. 4y
IamIamIam @Reggie Lol, no offense to Floridians but the news makes Florida sound like another country sometimes!!! I love that he takes bits and pieces of news stories to create characters and events for books. He has an absolute hatred for Disney and a deep love for the Everglades and Florida wildlife. 4y
Reggie @IamIamIam I agree with you. I used to watch Chelsea Lately and every time they brought up crazy news items to make fun of, the most outrageous was always from Florida. 4y
Sparklemn @lamlamlam Your mention above of his Disney essays - Team Rodent - made me seek them out. Funny! Will definitely give his new book a try. 4y
IamIamIam @Sparklemn It's really funny... I will say that if anyone is a Trump supporter (I don't judge) don't recommend this book to them!! 😂😂😂 Hiaasen wrote a tv spot that the president, known as Mastodon, gives and I really was laughing out loud. It was spot on!!! 4y
