Ladataan... Clownfish BluesTekijä: Tim Dorsey
![]() Top Five Books of 2016 (598) Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. America's favorite serial killer, Serge A. Storms, takes to the backroads and byways of Florida again in [a:Tim Dorsey|27017|Tim Dorsey|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1274614239p2/27017.jpg]'s latest addition to the series. This time Serge is obsessed with re-creating scenes from the final season of the TV show Route 66 that were filmed in Florida; of course, in his on inimitable style, which means there will soon be dead bodies scattered about. Absurd and laugh-out-loud hilarious as fans of the series have come to expect, this volume is exciting from beginning to end. Highly recommended to everyone with a sense of humor. (Note: the publisher provided this ARC to me through a Goodreads giveaway.) A few books back I nearly gave up on this series. The stories were becoming to scattered, outlandish, political, lazy, and boring. The last book Coconut Cowboys was an attempt to get back on track. I am happy to say that trend has continued and even been improved on. There is no real way to describe what this or almost any Tim Dorsey book start Serge Storms is about, except to say think of all the outlandish, crazy shit that happens in Florida and add in a lovable, funny, sociopath (Serge) along with an even more lovable alcoholic drug addict (Colman), a large number of innocent bystanders and you have a classic Tim Dorsey book. The only downside is the book doesn't last long enough. ![]() ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"If you're loud and proud Floridian Serge A. Storms, how do you follow up your very own remake of Easy Rider? You shoot your own 'episodes' of your favorite classic television show, Route 66! With Coleman riding shotgun, Serge is rolling down the highway of his dreams in a vintage silver convertible Corvette just like the snazzy car Martin Milner drove. It doesn't matter that the actual Route 66 didn't pass through Florida, for Serge discovers that a dozen episodes near the series' end were filmed (really!) in his beloved home state. So for Serge and the always toked and stoked Coleman, the Sunshine State is all the road you need to get your kicks. But their adventure traveling the byways of the Sunshine State's underbelly is about to take a detour. Someone is trying to tilt the odds in the state lottery amidst a conga line of huge jackpots spinning off more chaos than any hurricane season. With this much at stake, of course every shady character wants in. Crooked bodega owners, drug cartels laundering money through the lottery, and venture capitalists are all trying to game the system--and lining up to get their cut. They're also gambling with their lives, because when Serge and Coleman get hip to this timely (and very lucrative) trip, there's no telling whose number is up next. Throw in Brooke Campanella, Serge's old flame, as well as the perpetually star-crossed Reevis, and it's a sure bet that the ever lucky Serge will hit it big. Winning has never been this deadly--or this much fun!"-- Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
