Reviews"I was wondering when Bob Morris would finally get around to writing a novel, and it was worth the wait. Bahamarama is sly, smart, cheerfully twisted and very funny. Morris is a natural." -Carl Hiaasen, New York Times bestselling author of Skin Tight and Skinny Dip "In Bahamarama , Bob Morris is as tough and fast as Elmore Leonard, writes about the Caribbean as knowledgeably as Jimmy Buffett, and also begins to blaze his own, stylish trail as a gifted novelist. Bahamarama is a can't-miss hoot." - Randy Wayne White, New York Times bestselling author of Twelve Mile Limit "Bob Morris, a terrific writer and pure Florida boy, has created a marvelous tale that perfectly captures the nation's strangest state. Like Florida itself, Bahamarama is wild, weird, unpredictable, populated by exotic denizens -- and funny as hell." - Dave Barry, New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner of Tricky Business and Boogers are My Beat "Bob Morris' Bahamarama is as spicy as a bowl of fresh conch salad. Leading good guy Zach Chasteen tells his own story of a Bahama trauma with a voice so fresh that it makes you want to read this book twice." - Jeffrey Cardenas, author of Sea Level "When it comes to books from the lower latitudes you sometimes can't see the forest for the palm trees. No worries with Bahamarama. This book stands out. It's a fun and engrossing read from an author who expertly knows the lay of the land and the sea." Michael Connelly, New York Times bestselling author of THE NARROWS "The memorable characters, wry humor, and distinctive Florida and Bahama settings will appeal to Carl Hiaasen fans." -- Booklist, "I was wondering when Bob Morris would finally get around to writing a novel, and it was worth the wait.
