Back to back Tim Dorsey lunacy! • • • • • (bewertet mit 5 von 5 Punkten) No sooner had I finished the paperback version of "Florida Roadkill" when I noticed that the second installment "Hammerhead Ranch Motel" had come out in hardback. I was not disappointed in the slightest. These two novels have really made my summer! Serge A. Storms returns amidst a plethora of new freakazoids for everyone to enjoy! His newest sidekick is a Don Johnson impersonator named Lenny Lippowicz. When not schmoozing the 2012 Olympic Committee, these two are scouring the Hammerhead Ranch Motel's parking lot for moon rocks to peddle on the open market. Along the way we meet a sultry pair of ladies nicknamed "City" and "Country". Johnny Vegas also returns as the world's most unfortunate virgin. We also meet Harvey Fiddlebottom, a.k.a. Zargoza and witness his ongoing dealings with the reasonably violent Diaz Boys. And let's not forget Paul, the Passive-Aggressive Private Eye, the dangerous Mrs. Edna Ploomfield, the incredible shrinking Mayor Malcolm Kefauver and Toto the dancing weather dog! With the exception of the first two paragraphs in the prologue, the story spends very little time dealing with the past novel. It starts off with a bang and never lets up! It's fast and furious, very much like Serge on one of his hyperkinetic Florida benders. I think one of the funnier lines has to be ..."The Florida Marlins had just won the World Series, whose rich celebratory tradition often peaks with fans mistaking police cruisers for pinatas." I also thoroughly enjoyed the sequence involving the National Guard vs. Clown College Students during an Antiwar demonstration. A totally wild and insane visual that had me rolling with laughter. This novel is a kamikaze mixed by a demonically wicked bartender. I cannot recommend this novel enough! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll groan...but I guarantee you will not regret reading "Hammerhead Ranch Motel". In fact, buy two copies in case you wish to read it a second time and beware of Hemingways falling from the skies! Eine Rezension von J. Surowiecki > Hanover Park, Illinois vom 17.
