Reading this novel was a waste of time. Why then did I waste the time? During our usual April stay in Indian Shores, Florida, we signed up to participate in the Indian Shores Library "Read n' Feed" book discussion evening. Some times the book selection leads us to a wonderful title of which we have not previously been aware. Last year's discovery of Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus is an example.

I am assuming this book is intended to be a satirical take down of the CIA and America's sometime questionable foreign policy initiatives. We have Serge who leads a group of friends who literary kill bad people who in this case are CIA operatives who are poorly trained and have questionable morals and ethics and are a threat to people who have become innocent targets of this group.

Dorsey insists on having some of the characters tell incredibly crude stories and their swearing is of a particularly crude variety. I could not find a justification for using it.

La Floride, c'est un peu le paradis des dingues, des tordus et des trafiquants (si j'en cois ce reportage désopilant)

Hurricane Punch is an interesting book. It is another book in the series of a serial murderer who escapes being caught, who seems to care about right and wrong, admits that he is mentally ill, who spouts historical information about the state of Florida and really is despicable yet a true hero. There is a sequence of story here concluding with an unexpected ending. Four stars were given to this book on originality alone and good story.

Autant j'avais été intéressé par le premier, autant celui ci, par ce confusion, m'a moins "percuté" (et pourtant)
