Review on Discover Your Lucky Charms with 'Lucky 🍀 You' – A Unique Product for Good Fortune! by Richard Messar

I came across Hiaasen after reading an article in the New Yorker about Florida detective stories. The article focuses specifically on Hiaasen's writing style and at one point compares his style to Tom Wolf's Miami novel Back to Blood. there are stylistic similarities - both are social satirists, both see the world through a glass, bleak. However, Hiaasen is not the wordsmith like Wolf, nor is his intent the same. I've always felt that Wolf works best as a social critic. Rather than delving deep into the psyche of his characters, he rummages around in the milieu in which they live. To me, Hiaasen's primary intent is to entertain, and he does so to the utmost. Lucky You is full of offbeat characters and situations. I had a lot of chuckles and a few belly laughs reading it. It's a great read when you need a break (for me, a two-day break before marching into Foote's third volume of his Civil War narrative) or just want an entertaining read. My second Hiaasen and I will definitely read more.
