Florida is a real killer, literally. if you read the novels of Carl Hiaasen, Jeff Lindsay and Tim Dorsey. The latter two specialize in serial killers. Lindsay’s Dexter covers his tracks through his everyman persona. Dorsey’s Serge couldn’t care less about covering his tracks. In Gator a Go-Go, Serge seems to spend most of his time thinking of bizarre ways to murder people. It would take any average serial killer a good two weeks to plan and execute any one of Serge’s diabolical deaths, but he seems able to handle them with a quick trip to the hardware store and some krazy glue. The first few of the novels in this series were mildly amusing, but Serge and especially Coleman wear think pretty quickly. This novel is especially irritating in its constant shifts between Florida, Spring Break madness, New Hampshire and various airports. It seems as though Dorsey is writing a movie script rather than a novel. Serge is full of Florida trivia, and if you’re into that, you might enjoy the novel. If you get a kick out of a somewhat goofy serial killer, read Lindsay’s Dexter novels. Another rollicking adventure with Serge Storms and Coleman. This time Serge was more of a guardian angel, a job he did with his usual creativity. It's almost scary to be in such agreement with Serge, but how can you argue with his advice to youngsters?- If someone isn't kind to animals, ignore anything they have to say.- Each new year of school, look for the kid nobody's talking to - and talk to him.- Always walk away from a fight - then ambush.- Read everything, doubt everything, appreciate everything.Hang on to your dreams with everything you've got.
What do You think about Gator A-Go-Go (2010)?
I think that this book had more of a plot than other books in this series, which is a good thing.
