Kiki Pew was a founding member of the Potussies, a group of women dedicated to supporting the President, who spends half the year at the “Winter White House” just down the road. Meanwhile, Angie Armstrong, wildlife wrangler extraordinaire, is called to the island to deal with a monster-sized Burmese python that has taken residency in a tree. But the President is focused on the disappearance of Kiki Pew. Never one to miss an opportunity to play to his base, he immediately declares her a victim of rampaging immigrant hordes. This, it turns out, is far from the truth, which now lies in the middle of the road, where a bizarre discovery brings the First Lady’s motorcade to a grinding halt. Irreverent, ingenious, and uproariously entertaining, Squeeze Me perfectly captures the absurdity of our times. Review: Hiaasen at his typical best! - Loved this book & love that Hiaasen never disappoints. His approach to topics through wit & humor tackle some of the most important issues facing our planet today in a palatable manner. He blends the forces of evil and our ecological dangers into a fast paced, laugh out loud package while actually informing us of the realities of corrupt actors. In a recent interview, he tells how many or most of his novels have actual incidents that he incorporates into his well written stories. I’d give him 10 Stars if I could. Review: hilarious and goofy - I would have given this book a five-star review, but the snide political commentary was so heavy-handed that I’ve been forced to give it a demerit. For those unfamiliar with Hiaasen’s work, he’s a talented and skilled satirist who works from the far-left side of the American political spectrum. Which is fine until he lets it get in the way of his wonderfully absurdist stories. This one is set in a wonderland version of Palm Beach, Florida. Its protagonist is Angie Armstrong, a reformed veterinarian cum game warden cum ex-con cum wildlife wrangler. But the real stars of the show are the story’s bizarre collection of Floridians, caricatures all, including a roman à clef depiction of Donald Trump and his retinue. The plot is structured – I use the term loosely – around an outbreak of oversized Burmese pythons in the uber-wealthy community of Palm Beach. There are several creative murders and one death by reptile, and the pythons play a part in the climactic scene. But along the way Hiaasen lards the tale with enough political gloss to choke . . . well, a twenty-foot python. Which of course detracts from the story arc. An example? On page 314 of my paperback copy he uses the phrase, “groveling right-wing radio stooges,” to describe one class of the president’s sycophants. Okayyy . . . So how, exactly, does that advance the narrative? As a certified (certifiable?) constitutional, individual-freedom-loving conservatarian, I found all these little asides distracting. A liberal slant is fine, but hey, don’t screw up the story line! But still – I give this book a hearty thumbs up. Other than the gratuitous political asides, it’s well-written by a literate and very skilled craftsman and has enough laugh-out-loud scenes to make for outrageous fun. If you’re from the left side of the American political spectrum you’ll like its send-ups of the Trump movement and the idle rich. If you’re from the right side of the spectrum you’ll appreciate Hiaasen’s batty character depictions and satirical observations about the American scene as expressed in that nuthouse otherwise known as Florida. Buy this book. It’s funny as all get-out. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #15,333 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #81 in Humorous Fiction #200 in Fiction Satire #806 in Suspense Thrillers | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 25,973 Reviews | ## Images ![Squeeze Me: A novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71n6eH5FfmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hiaasen at his typical best! *by D***C on January 4, 2026* Loved this book & love that Hiaasen never disappoints.

His commentary on the over-the-top nature of political power and privilege is razor-sharp, especially when skewering the chaos of the "current administration" without ever naming names. While conservatives might bristle at the satire, it’s honestly less partisan and more a critique of power and ego in general. Liberals will likely love it, but anyone who enjoys political satire and clever writing will find it thought-provoking and hilarious. A great read that doesn’t take sides—just shines a light on the madness. ## Frequently Bought Together - Squeeze Me: A novel - Razor Girl: A novel - Bad Monkey --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/286290615-squeeze-me-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.in/products/286290615-squeeze-me-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-12*
