Search - Hammerhead Ranch Motel (Serge Storms, Bk 2)

Sick, sick, sick man. The writer, I mean. Love Serge! This is an interesting series of books.

HWith this followup to Florida Roadkill, Dorsey places himself in the ranks of Laurence Shames and Carl Hiassen as a writer of hilarious, violent farces set in Florida. A loopy energy fills this A-ticket trip among the bridges, sailboats, seedy dives, dysfunctional families and drug deals of Tampa Bay. In the prologue alone, a college student falls through the glass dome of the Florida Aquarium; aged but feisty Mrs. Edna Ploomfield fights a gun battle with a shotgun-toting drug dealer; coitally challenged playboy Johnny Vegas has his Porsche flattened by a truck; and a man in a Santa Claus suit torches a car on the Sunshine Skyway Bridge before jumping into the sea. Later, we meet Lenny, inveterate pothead and sometime 'gator wrestler, whose exploits turn up in the Weekly Mail of the News World; Alabama-bred blonde Ingrid Praline, whose "giant Lolita package gave men hemorrhagic fever"; panicky pilot Bananas Foster; and many more zany characters.

Wild.. wacky.. witty and plain ol fun !!!!

Definitely a different read... Especially memorable for those very familiar with many Florida landmarks and historical areas.

This is a good one, but not as good as the first book, Florida Roadkill. Even so, I couldn't put it down! It's about a hotel where tons of crime lords go to hideout. Also, a major Florida hurricane takes place in the midst of all the crime. Great!! I'm on to the third book in the series...

Quirky!
