... and loved it.
It's just a bit dated now, having been published in 1998.
Mr. Hiassen, a fellow Floridian, has written an eighty-three page zinger about the Walt Disney Company and Walt Disney World.
Chapter titles include:
Republic of Walt
Fantasy Fantasy Island
Whistle While We Work
The back cover of the book states that Mr Hiassen's "dream is to be banned forever from Disney World" ...
I'm surprised that he wasn't.
The Disney High Muckey-mucks (Mickey-micks?) don't often have a sense of humor when someone takes potshots at the Mouse House, or in this case tosses grenades.
Several years ago the book was being discussed in an on-line Disney World newsgroup and some of the readers were positively aghast that some writer would write unflattering things about anything Disney.
The Walt Disney Company is a business after all, and what is the main concern of most businesses?
Right, the Bottom Line. $$$.
"Team Rodent: How Disney Devours the World" can be found for sale at Amazon.com but not at the World of Disney store.
