A Wacky Florida Adventure • • • • • (bewertet mit 5 von 5 Punkten) If you like Carl Hiaasen's books, you will be delighted to discover author Tim Dorsey and his zany cast of characters. Those of us old enough to remember traveling to Florida with the family for summer vacations in the 1950s and 1960s, before the interstate highways were built, remember the brightly-painted, mom-and-pop motels, complete with shuffleboard courts. Out of this grew Dorsey's second novel, "Hammerhead Ranch Motel." Filled with wacky characters, the Hammerhead Ranch Motel is a sleazy, run-down motel on Florida's west coast. Staying at the motel are the Diaz Boys, a group of cocaine duckpins who survive by sheer luck and their ten thousand stolen zebra-striped beepers; Zargoaz, aka Harvey Fiddlebottom, runs his sweepstakes scam from a motel room; undercover cops running sting operations on other undercover cops. If that's not enough to interest you, Dorsey throws in Serge A. Storms, a guy off his medication and in hiding out from the cops, while watching the silver briefcase containing five million dollars. And if that's still not enough, Dorsey throws in a hurricane! "Hammerhead Ranch Motel" and Dorsey's first novel, "Florida Roadkill" will give you hours of delightful reading and make you think twice when you pass one of the state's few remaining little mom-and-pop motels.
