by Tim Dorsey
Sarasota Herald-Tribune
“Dorsey knows how to get your attention…and quite often a belly laugh…Tim Dorsey has become quite adept at leading readers on a madcap romp through Florida’s finest and foibles, mostly its foibles…He lures the reader in with absurd humor, ludicrous situations, and even some affection for the state he calls home.”
Chicago Tribune
“The imaginative Dorsey…keeps readers guessing from start to finish…Bodies pile up, of course, and scattered around like little treasures are the hilarious, manic antics of Serge and his good friend Coleman, a whacked-out drunk…Torpedo Juice turns out to be a hot blast of winter fun, with an electric jolt of an ending. Read it, and you won’t even need the grain alcohol and Red Bull to get you going.”
Bergen Record
“Another feast of Florida wildlife and lowlife, spiced with Dorsey’s savory, sardonic humor…Dorsey twists the plot as adroitly as his lead character stays ahead of the law. As he has done in his previous novels, Dorsey deftly pulls together the disparate strings of his story and knots them into a pleasurable…conclusion.”
Tampa Tribune
“Torpedo Juice’s road trip with Satan, er, Serge, goes full-speed ahead. And when Serge prays, ‘please, stop making jerks,’ we know just how he feels. Serge may be many things—a killer, loud, a history buff, but never a jerk. And never boring.”
Passaic Herald News
“Serge is Dorsey’s finest creation: He may be crazy, but he knows his stuff…It’s a sweet relief to discover that Dorsey can keep up with himself. Heaven knows nobody else can.”
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
“Bust a gut laughing…You don’t often find what could be considered a normal character in Dorsey’s books…Unbridled sarcasm and hilarity.”
Denver Rocky Mountain News
“Tim Dorsey’s titles barely hint at the semi-tropical madness within. The entire series is an orgy of cocaine, massacres, alligators, hurricanes, corruption, strippers, environmental rape, and the undeniably appealing Serge…Catch him.”
San Diego Union-Tribune
