NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A collection of the best Miami Herald columns from the New York Times bestselling author of Squeeze Me on burning issues like animal welfare, polluted rivers, and the broken criminal justice system.

If you think the wildest, wackiest stories that Carl Hiaasen can tell have all made it into his hilarious, bestselling novels, think again. Dance of the Reptiles collects the best of Hiaasen’s Miami Herald columns, which lay bare the stories—large and small—that demonstrate anew that truth is far stranger than fiction.
Hiaasen offers his commentary—indignant, disbelieving, sometimes righteously angry, and frequently hilarious—on issues like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Bernie Madoff's trial, and the shenanigans of the recent presidential elections. Whether or not you have read Carl Hiaasen before, you are in for a wild ride.

      Wow, Carl Hiaasen is my hero, and narrator Arte Johnson is not far behind! In his "other life," novelist Hiaasen is a columnist for the Miami Herald. This new audiobook, which cherry-picks some of his most blistering columns, is one of those rare works you won't be able to stop listening to. Johnson, the former "Laugh-In" regular who gave voice to the works of fellow Floridian Dave Barry, performs Hiaasen's columns with just the right touches of anger, sarcasm, and, thankfully, some humor for relief. Johnson gives voice to Hiaasen's outrage at a corrupt state in which politicians can't do enough for big business, at the expense of people and animals. Johnson's anger over the live burial of hundreds of turtles is just as strong as the story about oil companies abusing the Gulf. Hiaasen found the right guy to deliver his message. M.S.
