Hurricane Punch

A Novel

De: Tim Dorsey

Narrado por: Oliver Wyman

Welcome to another typical summer in Florida, the season of the storms. Serge Storms.

That loveable, under-under-medicated dispenser of truth, justice, and trivia is back with a vengeance. And not a weirdness-laced moment too soon.

His cherished home state is about to take a beating, and from far more than the way-too-routine conga line of hurricanes bearing down on the peninsula. Corpses have begun turning up at a disturbing rate, even for Florida, and it looks like a brutal serial killer is on the loose. Serge vows to stop at nothing in his juggernaut to make All Things Right...except if he gets bored or distracted by a cool souvenir or...or a...whatever.

But his path won't be obstacle free.

Agent Mahoney has picked up the scent. The obsessive criminal profiler is convinced there is no second killer. Then there's Coleman, whose triathlete approach to the sport of polyabuse binging just might derail the mission more than the entire police community put together. The pace picks up. Winds howl, TV reporters fly around the beach, and questions mount: Who's stalking Tampa Bay's most sensitive journalist? Do multiple orgasms improve storm tracking? Why is the feeding-tube guy so quiet? All of which ultimately leads to the most pressing question on everyone's new-millennium lips: What would Serge do?

Performed by Oliver Wyman

Nuther okay book by Dorsey

First of all, the annoying surfer music has to go. What was the publisher thinking?!?! If you are out of Hiaasen books to read/listen to, might as well try this one. One problem I have is that this book wraps up rather quickly and not one of the best tied together packages I have encountered. It isn't nearly as good as Florida Roadkill, but worth the read.

Oliver hasn't found his Surge voice yet!

Since I started on the later books in this series Oliver Wyman was for me "Surge". When I went back to the beginning books I had a hard time adjusting to the narrator.
So imagine my surprise in these first few books with Oliver as the narrator and its not the voice of Surge yet!
But hang in there, better voices/narration to come!
As for the story, not the best of Dorsey's but not the worst. Quite a few laughs and WTF's?!?!? Hard to get into at first but overall pretty good tale in the life and times of our favorite psycho!

Surge, storm chaser!!!

If you could sum up Hurricane Punch in three words, what would they be?

Stormy weather!!!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Hurricane Punch?

When the eyes of two hurricanes crossed. Surge playing Jumpin Jack Flash!!!

Have you listened to any of Oliver Wyman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Well, here's the thing.....never listened to this guy before, and was disappointed when I saw that George Wilson was not doing this one. But after listening to the full novel, Mr Wyman did a very good job!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

laugh out loud!!

really really.bad narration

loved the guy did the previous.books. this kid is way too young. bring back Wilson!!!

Tim Dorsey NEVER disappoints

Tim Dorsey is pure gold. In Serge Storm he gives us a insane criminal genius that you just have to love. The stories are riveting and replete with comedy and suspense. Dorsey’s knowledge of the world and especially Florida is astounding.
The entire Serge Storm series is brilliant. Each book stands alone and/or perfectly blends into the rest. Each book is simply outstanding.
I must say that I do miss George Wilson as the narrator. I love George Wilson’s style. Oliver Wyman is a bit lack-luster and sounds too much like Joe Pesci for my taste. The story, however, makes up for what Oliver Wyman lacks.
