Michael takes you behind the scenes with the securiAfter reading this novel, you will never look at Disney World or the Magic Kingdom the same again. Michael takes you behind the scenes with the security people, investigators and other personnel. The result: Coniving, scheming, racism and bigotry. Characters that reminded me of a Sabatini novel. Political Satire reminding me of Jonathan Swift. That puts Mr. Hartnett in great company. We have an aging movie star with a director that boozes up from empty ensure bottles. You have Marlene, Jen, Ray and Tucker trying to keep vandalism away from groups as the Green Shirts and Dreamers. There is even a mouse watch that gives you discounts. Fun filled plot, with satire and jokes.Real time an effort put into this wonderful novel. "Look at the natives. They look like they're really in a good mood today because they're dancing around in circles. You know what that means? They forgot how to square dance. Just one of the memorable lines from this book. Great job Mr. Hartnett. Waiting for your next novel....more
