The editor, Diane Stevenson, selected columns that focused on Hiaasen's views on growth and government in Florida. Kirkus described Hiaasen as "a crystalline, pitiless seer of human weakness" and stated the book is "deeply satisfying, both for what it reveals of the serious priorities of a supposedly light novelist and for the outrageous epic of Florida profiteering and entropy within."[1]
