Kick Ass: Selected Columns (2001) - Plot & Excerpts

Hiaasen is a much beloved and highly successful Florida writer famous for skewering the stupidity and absurdities of South Florida. So I was quite surprised when this collection of his newspaper columns bored the hell out of me. This was possibly my first ever exposure to Hiassen's writing; I may have read his column a few times before, but I've definitely never read any of his novels. Much like the film "In Bruges" I felt like this was something I should like and it just fell completely flat. Some articles reminded me of The Onion (but they predate that site of course), which is a likewise beloved source of satire and lampoon that has always failed to entertain me.
