Book Review By Jenn Moss
Sick Puppy by Carl Hiaasen

Twilly Spree is an unemployed eco-terrorist who just happens to have enough money to remain that way. He tails a man who makes him very angry by throwing his trash repeatedly out the window. So Twilly plots his revenge. He follows this man home, brekas into his house when he is not at home, and kidnaps his dog. Not to mention, after returning to the dog's home, Twilly also ends up kidnapping the trash-thrower's wife.

During one of his long walks with his new found puppy friend, he discovers and unspoiled island called Toad Island and finds out that it won't remain unspoiled for long, if the true doggie's owner has anything to do with it. Apparently there are plans to build, build, build and turn it into a private golf course. Which, infuriates Twilly the ec-terrorist even more.
