Clownfish Blues: A Novel (Serge Storms)
Clownfish Blues: A Novel (Serge Storms)

Review:Mr Dorsey's weakest novel in the series. Usually I read books in at most one or two settings. Plots are usually disjointed with a purpose. This one was just disjointed. Overall not a very funny book. Read more

Florida Straits (Key West Capers Book 1)
Florida Straits (Key West Capers Book 1)

Review:I generally enjoy this form of detective fiction, but this book gets a C-. The main character stumbles and bubbles his way through the first part of the book. I kept waiting for the action to pick up and finally go bored with the main character. Read more

Shark Skin Suite: A Novel (Serge Storms)
Shark Skin Suite: A Novel (Serge Storms)

Review:Serge and. Coleman and maybe Serge's solemate(until things change) on another frenetic but quite Florida informative trip thru, around, over and under the Sunshine state.
Mr. Conway again has given us another fun and the packed comment on Florida, or as we who live here know it -- The State of Perpetual Weirdness! Read more

Noir: A Novel
Noir: A Novel

Review:Chris Moore delivers again! As true with any of his books, get ready to laugh until you have Coke come out of your nose. Seriously...these books should come with a disclaimer "Reader is warned to not operate this book while partaking of food, drink, hypodermic injection, inserting suppositories, trimming your nails, painting your nails, tying your shoes, plucking your eyebrows, applying eye makeup, shaving (his or hers), cooking, driving, standing, sitting, etc. Serious injury may be incurred du...

Atomic Lobster (Serge Storms)

Review:Tim Dorsey's loveable serial killer Serge and his sidekick, the wacky druggie named Coleman, are back in their newest adventure, Atomic Lobster. Oh, and some old friends and enemies make a return appearance for everyone's entertainment.

The Pope of Palm Beach: A Novel (Serge Storms)
The Pope of Palm Beach: A Novel (Serge Storms)

Review:This is the newest adventures of America's favorite serial killer. In the beginning I wondered if this might have been a autobiographical fictional historical account of Tim Dorsey.

The Pope is a great role model for the people of Riviera Beach, Florida.
(Personally I first heard of Riviera Beach, is when Anthony Carter played for Michigan, and was from Riviera Beach)
I am always impressed with the local history that Tim Dorsey shares in his novels. This story is much the same a... Read more

Orange Crush (Serge Storms)
Orange Crush (Serge Storms)

Review:We Florida residents don't know whether to laugh or cry when we read Tim Dorsey's spoof of our politicians. We can laugh at his hilarious descriptions, and we can cry at how close they are to the truth. Remember the election of 2000, and how we came back and messed up again in the primary election of 2002? Typical. In the story, Marlon Conrad is your usual sleazy politician and a shoo-in for election as Governor until he serves with his army reserve unit in the Balkans and learns about people. H...

The Riptide Ultra-Glide: A Novel (Serge Storms)
The Riptide Ultra-Glide: A Novel (Serge Storms)

Review:Dorsey is one of the funniest Florida writers I've ever read and considering who else is in that category, Barry, Hiassen, etc., it's a major feat. He's perversely wicked and insightful into the weirdness of the human species. Read more
