This book was an entertaining distraction from real life. Throughout the book I was excited to how the characters came colliding together in a hilarious situation born out of their own ineptness. This book is a funny tribute to human nature and Florida beauty. It was a great diversion for me ...             Dead Heat47 reviews Dick Francis, Felix Francis Putnam Adult, 2007 Food Poisoning & Bombs.
