I chose this book for the cover. I liked the bright yellow background and the girl kayaking. But Nature Girl by humor novelist Carl Hiaasen isn't about nature and isn't about kayaking. I think the actual kayaking takes place in two paragraphs. As typical of a Hiaasen novel, the characters are numerous and the plot is complicated, confusing, and funny. There is always a dangerous scene at the end that involves all the characters and this book is no exception. Hiaasen portrays most people from Florida as rude and thoughtless. I'm sure he exaggerates but it makes for fun reading.
