Serge Storms

review 1: I just love all of the Serge A. Storms novels and this was no exception. Serge and Coleman are up to their usual hijinks and mayhem. I can not imagine at book 17 that most need a serious in depth review to be encouraged to choose to read this or not.However if by some chance you are stumbling across this book first here is a brief synopsis of the series. Serge is a vigilante who goes after people he considers "jerks". Once he tracks them down he concocts vicious brutal ways to rid the world of these jerks. These methods are often Rube Goldberg like contraptions sometimes with a less than obvious method of escape (but just as often there is no method of escape). The people who are generally seen as jerks are people who scam large groups of people in his beloved state ... moreof Florida or people who scam or hurt one of Serge's many acquaintances.This is all done while Serge tells us the history of Florida as he and his drug addled buddy Coleman criss-cross the state on various adventures.I think you have to have a pretty dark sense of humor to fully enjoy these books but if you can take vicious vigilantism revolving around what is essentially a travel novel about Florida and Florida history I think you will find a lot to enjoy this series.All of the books in this series are pretty quick reads . . . I think I take an average of three to four nights to read each of them. So if you are looking for a dark but funny quick read these books answer.
review 2: Serge is a little less whacky, a lot of confused and dealing in a part of Florida history that is very esoteric in the latest entry in Tim Dorsey's ongoing saga. This novel has Serge working with Mahoney trying to track down some of Florida's finest con artists. Lunacy ensues, people die in bizarre manner - though most are not the "over the top" murders that Dorsey fans may be expecting - and new friendships are made. Serge seems a little older, wiser, and not quite as off the rails as usual; Coleman continues his attempts to be the Keith Richards of the duo and don't expect to find City or Country as they're AWOL once again. less
