I think a large part of the humor of the series is watching normal people try to deal with Serge. (On the other hand, I was more than halfway through TJ when I realized that Serge is a serial killer, so I brought a very different point of view to every other book in the series.) There were a few scenes with Serge simply going off in odd directions that were flat-out hillarious. I get the impression, though, that the dysfunctional normality of Florida that drove Dorsey to write his first books is wearing a bit thin on him. (  ) teckelvik | Mar 21, 2009 |  Humorous (  ) msmith17 | Jan 2, 2009 | Funny in a twisted, sardonic sort of way. The dead on characterization of society make you want to laugh or scream out loud. The colorful use of the F word is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. (  ) AdorableArlene | Jun 2, 2008 | This book was different from Tim Dorsey's other Serge novels; I don't want to reveal too much and spoil it for anyone! I was a bit disappointed in the middle, but the ending turned things around for me and confirmed my faith in Dorsey's humor, if not made me more of a fan. I can't wait for the next installment of Serge's Floridian adventures! (  ) volvomom | Apr 29, 2007 | Started reading Dorsey with 'Florida Road Kill' and it has been one wild, weird ride. It's Hunter S Thompson (in the good ole days)meets Carl Hiaasen, for a romp around the Sunshine State. Mix in a few Tropical Systems and you've got Hurricane Punch.

| Book description |
|
That lovable, under-undermedicated dispenser of truth, justice, and trivia is back with a vengeance—just as his cherished home state is about to take a beating from a conga line of hurricanes bearing down on the peninsula. But as Serge and his burnout buddy Coleman go storm-chasing, bodies begin turning up at a disturbing rate, even by Florida standards. It looks like a serial killer is on the loose—another serial killer—which highly offends Serge's moral sensibilities. And he vows he'll stop at nothing to unmask his thrill-killing rival and make All Things Right—though Coleman's triathlete approach to the sport of polyabuse binging threatens to derail the mission more completely than the entire combined Sunshine State police community could ever hope to.
