Two Fun Novels about Key West

..
Whether on the flight to Key West or while there, it is nice to have a good book to read.  Two of my favorite fiction novels that have a Key West / South Florida settings are as follows:

The Monarch of Key West by David Paule

The book can be purchased as either a paperback or e-book.  I purchased from Kindle for just over $3.  This book will never be known as a bestseller or be up for nomination for a Pulitzer Prize but it was a fun read and very informative concerning Key West, it's quirkiness and how the island "works". 

Bad Monkey by Carl Hiaasen

I am a big Carl Hiaasen fan and this book was a fun read.  It can be purchased in any form and is a mindless, fun and somewhat irreverent look at the island.  It is a good vacation/holiday read especially if you are in Key West or S. Florida. 

While some of the characters in each of these books may seem a bit outlandish, if you ever spend time in South Florida, you will know that they are not exaggerated. 

Have fun in Key West and hopefully you will enjoy these two books.
