Summary
A National Book Award Longlist Selection
Richard's cousin is missing, and his best hope of finding her rests with the wily, one-eyed, ex-governor of Florida. Carl Hiaasen introduces his iconic character Skink to a younger audience in this nail-biting adventure!
Classic Malley: Her parents are about to ship her off to boarding school, so she takes off with some guy she met online...Poor Richard: He's less of a rebel than Malley, and a lot less trusting. He knows his cousin is in trouble before she does. Wild Skink: He's a ragged, one-eyed, ex-governor of Florida, and enough of a renegade to think he can track Malley down. With Richard riding shotgun, this unlikely pair scour the state, undaunted by blinding storms, crazed pigs, flying bullets, and giant gators.
In Carl Hiaasen's outrageous, hilarious, and wildly dangerous state of Florida, there are a million places an outlaw might stash a teenage girl. A million unpleasant ways to die. And two who will risk everything to rescue a friend...and to, hopefully, exact a bit of swamp justice.

Awful narration. I almost gave up at the start
Awful narration. I almost gave up at the start … muddled through the lacklustre reading performance to try to get the most out of a skunk story… it wasn’t too bad in the end. But comedy was hard to find within the insipid monotone

An average return for Skink
Would you try another book written by Carl Hiaasen or narrated by Kirby Heyborne?
Yes to both. This was not the best 'Skink' story. But then the others have been so good and everyone can have an off day.I would suggest a longer length to allow for more story development and more amusement which are so characteristic of Hiaasen novels.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Would not dare to suggest an amended plot to such an accomplished author.
What does Kirby Heyborne bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
No comment
Could you see Skink - No Surrender being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
NO - better go with the earlier novels.
Any additional comments?
none
