Against the Technicolor unreality of Florida's finest tourist attractions, the Drummonds stumble into every illicit activity under the tropical sun-kidnapping, blackmail, gunplay, and black market negotiations, to name a few.  But even as the Drummonds' lives spin out of control, Coupland reminds us of their humanity at every turn, hammering out a hilarious masterpiece with the keen eye of a cultural critic and the heart and soul of a gifted storyteller. He tells not only the characters' stories but also the story of our times--thalidomide, AIDS, born-again Christianity, drugs, divorce, the Internet-all bound together with the familiar glue of family love and madness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“[Coupland's] best novel to date.” —\u003ci\u003eLA Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“...a powerful, redemptive story...” —\u003ci\u003eThe Miami Herald\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Coupland has taken a great leap forward...both the novel and its characters are distinctly heartfelt and oddly endearing...” —\u003ci\u003eRuminator Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Coupland hits the mark with his usual exceptional writing and perceptive eye.” —\u003ci\u003eNancy Olson, Quail Ridge Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Coupland is back and better than ever with a roller coaster ride of a book...I thoroughly enjoyed the ride.” —\u003ci\u003eAllison Hill, Book Soup\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“It's an extraordinarily well-written novel with characters you know you shouldn't be liking but do.
