Just read my first Dorsey novel, "Orange Crush," and while I have a great fondness for Hiaasen's earlier novels, I have to say that Dorsey's definitely doing better work than Hiaassen is currently.
But the book that I most recently finished is "Interesting Times," by Terry Pratchett, from the Discworld series. It's fun, but it's not one of the better Discworld books. And while the Discworld books usually can be read in any order, this one is an exception: you'd miss a lot if you read this one without reading some of the earlier books, like "The Colour of Magic."
So, it's an okay book for the Discworld fans, but if you're new to this series, you might be better off starting with a different book.
