Query: Formulaic and dissappointing

Though I am a huge Hiaasen fan, this one left me cold. Several glaring typos and overt publisher mistakes evidenced a rush job. Has Carl fallen victim to shameless Floridian opportunism? Did Demi Moore wreck a good thing? Mediocre characters, a boring religious subplot, a thoroughly predictable ending, and no Skink. Native Tongue and Double Whammy are far better.
