Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Arte Johnson's narration shines in 'Dance of the Reptiles,' capturing the biting wit and raw emotion of Hiaasen’s prose with ease. His performance is both authoritative and entertaining, perfectly matching the author's style. The audiobook covers a wide range of topics—from river pollution to corrupt politics—each story leaving you marveling at Hiaasen’s keen eye for detail. However, some pieces feel slightly repetitive, perhaps due to their nature as previously published columns. Despite this, the overall pacing keeps listeners engaged, making it a must-listen for fans of Hiaasen and anyone curious about Miami's turbulent history.
