Read by Richard Gilliland
Let's get one thing straight: Carl Hiaasen doesn't like the Walt Disney Company. Whenever the giant
entertainment conglomerate stumbles, as it did with its proposed Civil War theme park in Virginia, Hiaasen cheers.
When a rhinoceros mysteriously dies at Disney's new theme park, Animal Kingdom, Hiaasen secretly hopes for the
worst, because, as he writes, "no scandal is so delectable as a Disney scandal."
A native of Florida, author of such thrillers as Lucky You and Strip Tease, and a journalist for the Miami Herald,
Hiaasen comes by his dislike for Disney honestly. He has witnessed the relentless success of the Disney machine
firsthand with the development of Disney World and other properties around Orlando. In Team Rodent: How Disney
Devours the World, Hiaasen paints a witty and sarcastic portrait in this nonfiction account of a company who can
control the press, manipulate local governments, and because it's Disney, get away with it. Team Rodent is a quick,
entertaining read that even the most loyal Disney shareholder (except maybe Michael Eisner) will find enlightening
and amusing.
