Carl Hiaasen appeared at the Aspen Grove branch of the Tattered Cover Bookstore last night, and really packed them in. The Aspen Grove store is in Littleton, Colorado and is a very nice store, but much smaller than the downtown or Colfax Avenue stores. When I arrived at the store after walking from the light rail station, every chair was filled, and every nook and cranny within Hiaasen's view was crammed with people listening to him discuss his new book, Razor Girl. Plus, since the last time he spoke here, he has written a series of children's books, and so there were a lot of kids in the audience listening to him talk, too. He kept having to correct his language during his talk because of this. As usual, Carl was very witty. I read an advance reading copy (an ARC) of this book, and thought it was great - very funny, filled with his typical wacky Florida characters, and lots of Key West Florida color. I strongly recommend you run out to your local bookseller right now and buy a copy. And I mean Right Now!
