Skinny Dip

By Carl Hiaasen

What a wonderfully funny book! I did not know the author was in Florida, so it was a nice surprise to relate to the geography. The plot is of a man who pushes his wife off of a cruise ship believing he killed her. She survives and makes his life a living hell for two weeks. I didn't relate to the story. She (Joey) was a shallow person, seemingly running into a relationship for emotional security and knowing it was the wrong thing to do. Man to man. The book was clearly written from a man's perspective, with sex being the focal point of Chaz's life. It was also his demise. Joey was of course a beautiful blonde.

Overall, it was a wonderfully lighthearted story, as lighthearted as three attempted and one completed murder can be.
