About this ebook

Sunshine State trivia buff Serge A. Storms loves eliminating jerks and pests. His drug-addled partner Coleman loves cartoons. Hot stripper Sharon Rhodes loves cocaine, especially when purchased with rich dead men's money.

On the other hand, there's Sean and David, who love fishing and are kind to animals -- and who are about to cross paths with a suitcase filled with $5 million in stolen insurance money. Serge wants the suitcase. Sharon wants the suitcase. Coleman wants more drugs . . . and the suitcase. In the meantime, there's murder by gun, Space Shuttle, Barbie doll, and Levi's 501s.

In other words, welcome to Tim Dorsey's Florida -- where nobody gets out unscathed and untanned!

This is completely outside of my usual comfort zone for my personal reading material. It's a spoof on psycho slasher stories only more twisted. Serge Storm is an Alex Delarge character.

Raw, irreverent, fast-paced Florida action. This book isn't necessarily an easy read - it follows a lot of characters, most of them quite charmless in a way you love to hate, going around Florida in a wild goose chase/road trip that showcases the best (and often the worst) the state has to offer. But it's absurdly fun. Crass and witty, this is more of an experience than a narrative, and if you stick to its presentation, you can get the hidden gems strewn throughout. I'm particularly fond of a joke of an elephant in the Miami zoo. If you love Florida, or even have a passing interest in the history and culture of the state, it's a fascinating read. A tad dated, but still mostly accurate. If you like the styles of Hunter S. Thompson or Kurt Vonnegut, this is right down that alley, too.

Glad to see this page. I have read most of the books but found a couple I missed. Can't get enough of Serge and Coleman's crazy adventures!
