I have always been extremely interested in all things Disney. Since I am, to my surprise, one of the many kids who was raised on Disney. Disney has always held a special place in my heart. I not only enjoy the magical and wonderful aspects of Disney, but I also like hearing about both the good and bad things that Disney has done. It's truly amazing to think about how one little mouse, Mickey Mouse, could grow into such a huge and influential empire. The story of Disney's success is both inspiring and fascinating. It shows how a creative idea can turn into something truly extraordinary. Whether it's through their movies, theme parks, or other forms of entertainment, Disney continues to capture the imaginations of people all over the world.

This is the very first adult Carl Hiassan book that I have had the pleasure of reading, and I must say that I absolutely adore this man.

There is just something truly captivating about the idea of an unhinged Florida man going on a rampage and trashing Disney. It's a concept that I simply could not get enough of.

This book is a quick read, but don't let that fool you. It is really good. The story is engaging, the characters are well-developed, and the writing is top-notch.

I would highly recommend this book to all of your Disney adult friends. Just be prepared for a possible fight to break out, as some people may not share your enthusiasm for this unique take on the Disney theme park.

Overall, I am extremely impressed with Carl Hiassan's work and can't wait to read more of his books in the future.

Hiaasen always has a remarkable talent for transforming grim stories into something fun. I vividly remember taking a class that centered around Disney and the Disneyfication of life on our planet. The reach and impact of Disney are far more extensive than what the majority of people assume. It comes as no surprise that their second theme park was, and still remains, an environmental, political, and social blemish. In many respects, it operates with a sense of impunity, as if it is above the rules and consequences that should apply. This situation is truly concerning and calls for a closer examination of the role and influence of such powerful entities. We need to be more aware of the potential negative impacts they can have on our world and take steps to address and mitigate them.

According to Hiaasen, the real rodent is not Mickey Mouse, but rather his backers at the Disney Corporation.

This is an often humorous expose that delves into the company and its powerful forces. It details how they managed to acquire land in Florida and construct a "nation within a nation."

All along, they have convinced the public that they are good, just like Mickey. This account provides a unique perspective and is a very good read indeed.

I've heard the other sides of the story, but this one is truly refreshing. It offers a different take on the Disney Corporation and its operations, shedding light on aspects that may not be as well-known to the general public.

Whether you're a Disney enthusiast or simply interested in learning more about the inner workings of a major corporation, this expose is sure to capture your attention and provide valuable insights.
