Kind of ironic. The book that I talked about returning because of the really bad formatting and punctuation four posts above was Carl Hiaasen's Double Whammy, his second book and originally published 22 years ago. I had read Skinny Dip, one of his later novels, and saw that Star Island has been in the top ten Kindle books, and wanted to go back and start with his earlier stuff. It's too bad that Penguin is so greedy and they've priced his first two novels ridiculously high.

ETA: Even more ridiculous is the fact that the paperback is $7.99 and the Kindle book is $13.99.
