I was just reviewing this for a write up and was delighted to realize I felt an immediate fondness for different parts of it--I could've read it all over again! Reads and feels like a dated book (1987), but the writing doesn't disappoint. A highly creative premise and story that keeps you glued and uttering "hunh," to yourself. Best described by Carl Hiaasen: "...a fearsomely funny oasis where Gilligan wouldn't survive the first luau, but where Ivan Boesky or Oliver North might feel right at home. A wild and terrific book."
