Fever Beach

A Novel

De: Carl Hiaasen

Narrado por: Will Damron

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of Squeeze Me comes a wildly entertaining Florida caper—a razor-sharp send-up of modern American life, packed with misfits and mayhem.

“No satirist arrived at our dystopian moment better prepared than Carl Hiaasen.” —Slate

“[Carl Hiaasen’s] reality with a side of escapism is a blessing for our fragile minds at this time.” —Samantha Irby in The Atlantic

Welcome to Fever Beach, where the sun blazes, the politics are unhinged, and the characters are as volatile as a summer storm.

Dale Figgo is a half-baked crusader with the rare distinction of being kicked out of the Proud Boys—for being too dumb. His latest bad decision? Picking up a hitchhiker on a rainy afternoon while running an errand.

That errand sets off a chain reaction involving Viva Morales, a clever, resilient newcomer trying to rebuild her life post-divorce. She’s renting a room in Figgo’s apartment and working at the Mink Foundation—a philanthropic front with something far darker beneath the surface.

Circling them is Twilly Spree, a hotheaded environmentalist with too much cash and a gift for over-the-top revenge.

When dark money and twisted motives bring their worlds crashing together, Viva and Twilly become unlikely allies. Together, they uncover a tangle of corruption and conspiracy led by a plastic-surgery-loving billionaire couple and a clueless congressman with delusions of grandeur.

In his most outrageous and deliciously funny novel yet, Hiaasen delivers a gleefully chaotic portrait of contemporary madness.

Best EVER if you aren’t a……

This was just as funny as all Carl’s other books but this one hits home at the upside down world we are all living in not just Florida. Forever supporting his writing. ❤️❤️❤️

Another timely and exciting listen!

I'm still working through Carl's earlier novels so not sure who the description was referring to when speaking about prior favorite characters but I do intend on finding out, eventually. As for Fever Beach, this was a great story and Carl's characters always are so believable, from the ignorant, to the selfish, to the honest, and self aware. I appreciated how smart and caring, yet somehow completely broken, Twilly is, I hope he comes around so he and Viva can reconnect. Thanks for another great book among a mountain of many! I also think that Will Damron didd a fantastic job of narrating, I'll be looking for more of his work as well!

Just say’n.

That is M aking A holes G iant A holes in a nutshell. Just say’n.

Great story

Another superb story. Excellent production. You can’t go wrong buying this book. Carl Hiaasen never fails to impress.

Strokers!

Hiaasen is an expert at finding humor in the tragedy of what’s happening to this country.

Fun and dumb

A nice romp with lots of current resonance. Hiaasen as usual gives us hilarious characters and biting political and environmental messages. Reader is terrific- all character voices good, including female.

Strokers

The language of the “Strokers”. It was funny and unfortunately too possible. Charcters are typical of Hiaasen.

another great novel by hiaasen

i listened to this in one day! it’s a blast. the actor is especially good, too. go vegan.

Only slight exaggeration of MAGA

Loved the dialog and strong characters and humor. Carl Hiassen really knows how to tell a story.

Great Book

I’m still laughing, only way to be better is if Stink showed up. (He another recurring character in this series)
