Resumen del Editor

A (Serge A.) storm is brewing for a cabal of bad guys gaming the Florida state lottery in this insanely funny novel from the maestro of mayhem, Tim Dorsey.

If you're loud and proud Floridian Serge A. Storms, how do you follow up your very own remake of Easy Rider? You shoot your own "episodes" of your favorite classic television show, Route 66!

With Coleman riding shotgun, Serge is rolling down the highway of his dreams in a vintage silver convertible Corvette, just like the snazzy car Martin Milner drove. It doesn't matter that the actual Route 66 didn't pass through Florida, for Serge discovers that a dozen episodes near the series' end were filmed (really!) in his beloved home state. So for Serge and the always toked and stoked Coleman, the Sunshine State is all the road you need to get your kicks.

But their adventure traveling the byways of the Sunshine State's underbelly is about to take a detour. Someone is trying to tilt the odds in the state lottery amid a conga line of huge jackpots, spinning off more chaos than any hurricane season. With this much at stake, of course every shady character wants in. Crooked bodega owners, drug cartels laundering money through the lottery, and venture capitalists are all trying to game the system - and lining up to get their cut. They're also gambling with their lives, because when Serge and Coleman get hip to this timely (and very lucrative) trip, there's no telling whose number is up next.

Throw in Brooke Campanella, Serge's old flame, as well as the perpetually star-crossed Reevis, and it's a sure bet that the ever-lucky Serge will hit it big. Winning has never been this deadly - or this much fun!

Serge & Coleman are on Fire

If you are a Serge fan you will love this book, a lot of characters make a return. It had me laughing out loud all the way through. I almost want to listen again.

Another great adventure

I think I have one more book to go in the entire series... My point is that I stuck with it through countless books and never got bored. You should try it... Very good series.

this book is well read all the way through

love oliver Wyman great job reading this book all the way through.

definitely reccommend read

Hilarious as usual!

Another fantastic Serge story. I hope the narrarator intended for Marilyn to sound like Eric Cartman because that's what I heard and nearly choked laughing!

Fun from start to finish!

A good time is always guaranteed with Serge and Coleman! Oliver Wyman is THE best narrator!

Another Floridaphile Dorsey hit!

This book series should be mandatory listening for anyone considering relocating to Florida.
Florida isn't the shiny, happy postcard crap that gets sent to Sheboygan on a postcard. The seedy underbelly is alive and well and part of what makes this state spectacular. The author is fully aware of this and uses his experience as a Tampa journalist for inspiration. Some of the capers are far-fetched; but in Florida, they're not out of the realm of possibility.

Non-stop, laugh a minute thrill ride!

Tim Dorsey is a geniusà
PLEASE make this book into a movie!

Sam Rockwell as Serge.
Jack Black as Coleman.

This book screams, nake me into a movie!

The interwoven sub plots are brilliant, and the narrator brings the book to life.

Classic Dorsey

Classic Tim Dorsey. I liked the narrator it was very clear or to have him narrate in the style of a criminal/crime/murder show. I was off put by Serge and Coles voices. Not bad I guess but now how I had them in my head. All the little nuggets, that Tim puts in there that I assume to be "true" really adds to it. Such as the un claimed jacked pot amount.

Wild Ride

Would you consider the audio edition of Clownfish Blues to be better than the print version?

Unknown. I haven't read the book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

All the caricatures are unique and interesting. He completely fleshes out even small parts.

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

Geat! Has the ability to make each caricature unique.
