Killing Bites 22

&ldquo;Carl Hiaasen [is] Florida&rsquo;s most entertainingly indignant social critic . . .&#160;He presents us with Cherry Pye, a 22-year-old pop star whose every display of narcissistic excess will send a frisson of horrified delight up your spine . . . The outlandish events soar on the exuberance of Hiaasen&rsquo;s manic style, a canny blend of lunatic farce and savage satire.&rdquo;&mdash;New York Times Book Review&#160;&ldquo;Does anyone remember what we did for fun before novelist Carl Hiaasen began turning out his satirical comedies one after another after another? . . . Star Island is a concoction worth the time of any reader who wants quality entertainment.&rdquo;&mdash;San Francisco Chronicle&ldquo;Hiaasen reclaims his groove in Star Island, a wicked, fizzy sendup of American celebrity culture . . . A very funny book about life in the fast lane.&rdquo;&mdash;Boston Globe&#160;&ldquo;Fans of Carl Hiaasen will feel right at home when they plunge into Star Island. There&rsquo;s the familiar collection of deliciously tawdry characters, each angling for a piece of the action in Florida . . . And there&rsquo;s the fast-moving plot, and the writing that makes you laugh out loud . . . Hiaasen has turned out another gem. Readers of his previous novels can settle in for more wacky fun in the Florida sun.&rdquo;&mdash;Associated Press&#160;&ldquo;A wild and fun Sunshine State ride.&rdquo;&mdash;New York Post&ldquo;Hiaasen is at his gleeful best skewering the morally bankrupt. He has plenty to poke fun at here, from a reprehensible real-estate developer with an excruciating groin injury to twin publicists Botoxed within an inch of their lives. This is classic Hiaasen&mdash;demented, hilarious, and utterly over the top.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist (starred)&ldquo;An outrageous, offbeat novel . . . The torrent of pop culture barbs are bound to please Hiaasen&rsquo;s ardent fans.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&#160;

'Professor Jefferys book is particularly interesting on several accounts. First it offers an up to date picture of the most recent developments in French employment relations and management, but also roots them in history. Besides, it provides an unusually perceptive and accurate view of French industrial relations. This is to be particularly commended, for, if many Anglo-Saxon authors have offered excellent works about French society and its developments in general, this has often been less the case for French industrial relations. With remarkable but few exceptions, French peculiarities tend to remain relatively impenetrable across both the Channel and the Atlantic. Finally, from the standpoint of a French observer of the employment relations scene, it is fascinating, and refreshing to discover how we are seen from abroad.' - Jacques Rojot, Professor of Management, University of Paris

'Steve Jefferys has written two books in one. First he has created a solid and detailed analysis of French industrial relations. Then, generalising from the French example, he proposes a theoretical analysis of industrial relations as a whole. The result is highly convincing.' - Christian Dufour, Deputy Director (Research), IRES (Institut de Recherches Economiques et Sociales), Paris

'This is an excellent study with a comprehensive approach to social and labour relations in France today. This work provides a detailed and up-to-date account of the relationship between past French governments, employers, trade-unions, political parties and social movements. The book will be very useful to political scientists who would like to understand better how specific the French situation is compared to other European countries.
This study is not only well documented on those issues, but is also clearly written and accessible. It is particularly knowledgeable and subtle on its assessment of French trade-unionism today. It no doubt fills a gap in the English literature devoted to trade-unions and social relationships in France.' - Dr Philippe Marlière, Senior Lecturer in French and European Politics
