"Tim Dorsey's books have truly saved my sanity on long dull commutes. They're the kind of fast-switching books that keep even a listener with ADHD interested. Not only are the books entertaining in a fantasy sort of way, but each also contains true Florida history. Every book is like a crazy trip to Florida without the plane fare, crowds and sunburn. "

“[An] outrageous crime thriller that Tim Dorsey fans won’t soon forget.”
— Bookreporter.com“Dorsey serves up his usual mix of mayhem and mirth in his sixteenth Serge Storms thriller.”
— Publishers Weekly" Pretty good book, just like many on the Dorsey Series. Fun, entertaining and fast paced. "
— Martha, 2/13/2014" This was an enjoyable book as all of Dorseys are. And it is always fun to spend some time with Serge and Coleman. But this lacked a little something that his other books have. "
— Ray, 2/7/2014" One of Dorsey's best and most humorous. Must admit a bit of bias, as there are characters from my home state of WI and adopted home state of KY. The WI characters and what they went through hit especially close to home. "
— Dave, 2/3/2014" More adventures with Serge and Coleman. "
— Barbara, 2/2/2014" Still glad that Dorsey is NOT right in all the right ways. "
— Kim, 1/17/2014" Another madcap adventure in Florida with Serge and Coleman. Lots of craziness, but a fairly accurate portrayal of the state. "
— Mathew, 1/9/2014" If you like Carl Hiaasen I recommend reading this author too. "
— Kelli, 12/29/2013" The usual over the top madness of Serge & Coleman with Florida travelogue. Can't wait for the next. "
— Bill, 12/25/2013" Still funny reading the crazy situations involving Serge! "
— Ben, 12/23/2013" This series never fails to crack me up! Loved it! "
— Margi, 12/6/2013" I love the series but this one is a huge disappointment. Feels this was just thrown together just to get something to publish, if there is a next installment in the series I will check out of the library before I buy. This book wasn't worth the price. "
— Tom, 12/4/2013" These books are always funny. In this episode of the Serge A. Storms story, he takes on a whole new brand of victimizer and finds some new normals to play with. "
— Robin, 12/4/2013" While this isn't my favorite of this series it was still very entertaining. "
— Sharon, 11/23/2013" Serge and Coleman are up to their usual big=hearted but lethal hijinx. "
— Vickie, 9/18/2013" Entertaining as always! A bit convoluted but that is not unusual in the Serge Storms saga. The inclusion of Florida history seems a bit more forced in this one but it is always informative. "
— Fred, 9/13/2013" Another chapter of the Serge Storms saga...another solid read. The usual laugh out loud parts are included. "
— Todd, 7/10/2013" Crazy Serge Stroms liked it but agree with others ending was abrupt "
— Jenn, 5/19/2013" Serge and Coleman, back at it again! If you enjoy the crazy atmosphere of Florida, this series is a gas. I enjoyed this one more than the previous book, which was more profane. He thought this one through more. "
— Joanne, 5/3/2013" Good book but kind of short. It's only 285 pages. "
— Philip, 4/29/2013" As usual, I was in no way disappointed with the newest Serge story. And, as usual, I regret that I'll have to wait a while for another one to come out. I can't get enough of Dorsey's stuff. "
— Dustin, 4/4/2013" Wisconsin and Madison play a role in this one!! love it!! "
