Hysterically funny.... Hiaasen at his satirical best.   USA Today

[A] mordantly hilarious, black-humor thriller.   The Wall Street Journal

Insane ... amazing.... Wonderful.... A great read.   The Washington Post Book World

Bracing, bawdy, howlingly funny.... Everybody gets his just desserts, and you get the delight of reading about it.   Cosmopolitan

Raucous, scathing but never mean-spirited, Stormy Weather goes a long way toward securing Hiaasen's place as America's premier satirist.   People

A delight cover to cover. If only you could buy a ticket to Hiaasen's Florida. Animatronics be damned.... Hiaasen infuses his novels with justice.... What you can't anticipate is how much fun there's to be had getting here to there.   New York Daily News

Caustic and comic ... Hiaasen is a funny fellow.   Time

A satisfying romp.... Bitingly effervescent.... Few writers in the overcrowded crime fiction arena can match Hiaasen s deft, economical portraits, his ability to click the shutter on a character s most revealing moments. Newsday

Another fiercely funny tale in the Hiaasen cannon. Even while provoking gales of laughter, it takes dead-aim at despoilers of the environment and the greed-mongers out to make a buck off devastation and destruction.... Hiaasen is himself an accomplished juggler of plot lines.... Stormy Weather would be terrific reading during a hurricane, taking your mind off all those oak trees doing the wave outside your window. But don t wait until then. Orlando Sentinel
