Basket CaseBasket Case by Carl Hiaasen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While I like Carl Hiaasen's books in general, this one is my all-time favorite. What makes it different from Hiassen's other books is that it's written in first person. by main-character Jack Tagger, a down-on-his-luck, has-been investigative reporter, who is now reduced to writing obituaries for the local paper. Jack sees a death notice for a former rock star, and convinces his young boss to let him pursue the story. Like all Hiassen's books, this one is a wild ride. This is obvious much more than a typical obituary. And seeing the action through the eyes of Jack Tagger makes this book less cartoonish than his others. (I'm not a great fan of his children's books; he takes himself too seriously when writing for children.) This book gets five stars as I've already read it twice, and intend sometime in the future to read it again.

    Denise Rodgers. I am a a wife, daughter, mother, grandmother (the best of all titles), an aunt, a sister, a sister-in-law, and twice over a mother-in-law. I've been the boss' daughter and the boss' wife. I've been a business owner and a customer, and for a long, long time an official student (although in many ways I'll always be a student). But what I have always been and will be is a writer.
