Summary: Another funny roller-coaster ride
Comment: In the tradition of his previous four novels, Florida Roadkill, Hammerhead Ranch Motel, Orange Crush, and Triggerfish Twist, Dorsey once again provides the reader with a disjointed rolloer-coaster ride of a read with several plotlines racing toward a messy and hilarious conclusion.
This book also resolves the mystery of the missing five million dollars from Florida Roadkill and Hammerhead Ranch Motel and explains how Serge got amnesia in Orange Crush. With all of that explained, I hope Dorsey will move on to some new characters for his next novel, and not milk these until they are not funny anymore. I would be very interested to see how Dorsey does without Serge as a protaganist. Although I do see a possibility of another novel between this one and Orange Sruch to further explain how amnesiac Serge ends up working for the governor.
This book is a must-read for anyone who has read Dorsey's other books, both for its new characters and situations as well is its resolution of existing plotlines.

Summary: Warning: May Be Hazardous to Your Health!
Comment: To anyone who thinks the description of laughter as "side-splitting" is an exageration, I have only one response: Read chapter 3 of The Stingray Shuffle. (Actually, read the entire book.) I was literally in tears, laughing uncontrollably, trying not to wake up my sleeping family as I read late into the night of the antics on the minature golf course/driving range, including the true goal of hitting a bucket of balls and the misadventures of Johnny Vegas, the Accidental Virgin. Tim Dorsey has written a series of zany adventures set in the ripe-for-satire Florida scene, further honing his literary skills with each ensuing book. I thought it would be hard to top the comic absurdity of his last effort, Triggerfish Twist, but this entry delivers the early promise so evident from the beginning. Read it and meet (or meet again, if you are already a fan) Serge A. Storms, the bad guy you just have to love. Find out what happens to the briefcase with $5 millon, careen all over Florida from the Keys to Tampa, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and points beyond all the way to NY City. Enjoy the forgotten pleasure of true belly laughs....but be prepared for the aching side effects of laughing until it hurts.

Summary: A trainload of laughs!
Comment: This guy Dorsey is really funny! His hero, Serge, despite being an obsessive compulsive, drug-addled serial killer, is someone who is truly likable. Although I haven't read Dorsey's earlier works that lead into The STINGRAY SHUFFLE, this book stands just fine on its own. Hollywood needs to grab this one!
