If you like Carl Hiaasen's books, you'll like "Bad Monkey."

Carl Hiaasen writes funny novels set in Florida with outlandish characters and wild events, salted with a lot of truth about the absurdity of what people do.  His latest, Bad Monkey, successfully follows that formula.  The book features Andrew Yancy who has been demoted from police officer to restaurant inspector.  Yancy is determined to get his old job back by solving a murder.  With only a severed arm and his instincts, Yancy sets out to find the bad guys.

I enjoyed Bad Monkey in the same way that I like potato chips and McDonalds french fries:  addictive and entertaining stuff; a fun treat.
