Which Carl Hiaasen book was it that had an incident involving gators

[raccoon]

and a tourist?

[Skink]

1. All of them

2. Yeah, that was my answer. All of his books deal with alligators,

tourist and the delicate eco balance in Florida. Love Hiaasen.

If I had to guess which book, it would be "Tourist Season." Know it has tourists and plastic alligators in the plot line. Just a thought.

9. Most do, but not all.

3. .

:rofl:

...I like Hiaasen, but that was hilarious.

5. I didn't want to say more because if someone hadn't read the book,

it might be a spoiler.

4. Turf War?

The one where he had a poodle and an elderly woman square off with an alligator in a Darwinian battle for habitat?

[raccoon]

6. No, it was worse than that. nt

8. Maybe you're thinking of the snakes in "Skinny Dip"?

[hiaasenrocks]

7. Several of them.

But the one that you're probably asking about is what others here have already said: Tourist Season. Most people would identify this book above the others when it comes to gators simply because of the book's cover, though. He has used alligators to finish people off in several (not all) of his books.

On a related note, people sometimes forget the creative way in which Hiaasen did away with a "bad guy" in Native Tongue. Now that was a creative way to use an animal character...
