The fatphobia throughout was disappointing and distracting. 

Aside from that I really liked this book (the very first I’ve read by Carl Hiaasen). Wahoo and Tuna were incredibly lovable, with Mickey close behind. This book was exciting and charming, while also dealing with some pretty heavy topics. I also loved the animal facts sprinkled throughout (yes, alligators go through 3000 teeth in a lifetime, really). 

I thought James Van Der Beek did a nice job narrating. 

I love the premise of this book so much! The survival show is so interesting and funny and the characters are really interesting.
I do think the action sequence at the end went on a bit too long, to much back and forth, but other than that it's perfect.
