Anyone who likes Christopher Brookmyre should try Hiaasen. Their styles do have a certain similarity.

I went for Digital Fortress. I'm not sure why - I just enjoyed it that fraction more than the others. I do like his books, and the Da Vinci Code was good - can't believe all the fuss it has caused though. I do get the feeling that he writes his books so that they will be made into films. You can see the film developing as you read through the books.

Actually Sacred Art of Stealing was the first one f his books I read. A chap I know kept banging on about him so I decided to read on of his books and I borrowed SAOS. And then I was hooked. I've been hunting down his books one by one since. I've got three to go - all ready on the bookshelf - just gotta finish Insomnia by Stephen King first.

I'm a fan. He is very good. His books have the best titles. My favourite one is ' a big boy did it and ran away'. I'm sure many a Scots kid can remember telling that little fib to their parents at some time or another. It is hard to decsribe his stories though. They are funny, but also quite serious. People do get killed. You really all should get hold of one of his books and give him a try - expecially if you are a fan of Carl Hiaasen - the american Brookmyre.
