4.0 out of 5 stars Dorsey Delivers Again!!, December 17, 2004

There must be something about the air in Florida..at least as to how it affects some of those who chose to write about the life there, i.e. Carl Hiassen and Tim Dorsey. In this book it is Dorsey's turn and he doesn't miss a zany beat with the return of Serge A. Storms, a one man crime wave. All I can say is, if you want to enjoy yourself, pour a cool one and put on your safety belt before taking off on this adventure. It is non-stop zaniness and the writing is first rate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maniac on the loose in Florida!, January 26, 2005

I swear, Serge A. Storms has to be the funniest character I have ever read. As I was reading this book my wife kept kept asking me what I was laughing so hard about. Obviously, the bounds of reality are stretched a bit as this sociopath careens around Florida on the search for lost gems while dodging the mob, the police, and an unknown assassin. But Serge's sharp insights into the human condition are like a slap in the face coming from a total psycho. In the end, the unlikely Master Plan comes together in a very clever conclusion. A breezy summer read for January!

I love this writer...I love the characters...and I love the devine lunacy behind each and every one of Dorsey's books!
The Sting Ray Shuffle is, in my humble opinion, the BEST of the best [of Dorsey's books]...I laughed my butt off! But I do agree that ALL of Dorsey's books are hilarious. The twists and turns and the flow of the story, the romps through the Sunshine state from the Atlantic coast to the Gulf coast to the Panhandle...its all fast paced and funnier than you can imagine!
If these stories don't crack you up you might want to consider therapy!
