Foul play is suspected, but some wild speculation quickly turns it into a terrorist plot perpetrated by a supposed gang of undocumented migrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiaasen links this crazy plot to the President of the United States and spoofs the President and First Lady.  The resemblance to certain real-life individuals who held these positions is unmistakable. The book is funny, but the reality that it portrays is rather sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book is well written, and the events are preposterous. Scott Brick does a nice job of narrating.
