Electric Barracuda

De: Tim Dorsey

Narrado por: Oliver Wyman

“Dorsey differs from writers such as Carl Hiassen, James Hall, and Elmore Leonard…These guys fire bullets. Dorsey makes sure his gun is filled with hollow-point.”
—Sarasota Herald Tribune

Readers who can’t get enough of lovable serial killer Serge A. Storms can rejoice. He’s back in Electric Barracuda—the latest outrageous romp through the Sunshine State by Tim Dorsey, master of the zany crime thriller. This time Serge is a fugitive running from the police, and murder and mayhem have never been more over-the-top hilarious. Tim Dorsey’s Electric Barracuda is not to be missed. The Miami Herald put it best: “Nobody, but nobody, writes like this guy.”

More fun adventures with Serge and Coleman!

All I can say is I am a long time Tim Dorsey fan, and to make it breif.... I couldn't help but smile the whole time I listened to this book! Funnnyyyy!

More Florida fun

These stories just get better and better. Anyone thinking of vacations in Florida should definitely read these books.

Tour guide without a concience

Serge Storm is a Florida trivia spouting bad guy with a scientific curiosity, friends everywhere, a twisted sense of morality, and a knack for killing creativley. His friend Coleman is clueless but always there to help.

A fast moving raucous story that takes you from one end of Florida to the other with a historical tour along the way. The characters are vivid and endearing the narration is spot on.

This was my second listen of a Serge Storm book. there will be more.

Another excellent book from Dorsey!

Easily my favorite funny serial killer takes you on a journey in America's land of the weird....Florida. Excellent storyline, vocalization, and new / interesting ways to kill those people who really need killing.

A son? Could it be??

If you could sum up Electric Barracuda in three words, what would they be?

Slam, bam, fun!!!

What other book might you compare Electric Barracuda to and why?

All the books in this series.

What about Oliver Wyman’s performance did you like?

Oh, he has it down for sure......

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Tough question, not sure.....

Any additional comments?

the end, the end will get you!!! LOL!

Fantastic book once again

Fantastic Book. I highly recommend this novel. It is one of Tim Dorsey’s finest books.

Serge snaps back

I have to admit the last couple of Serge Storms’ stories have left me a bit cold….they seem to have lost some of the crazy mix of serial killing high jinks and Florida history. In his new book Dorsey jumps back "over the shark". Serge is back in all his glory with a (sorry, but one has to use the term) “mad cap” caper across Florida evading the usual mix of inept or just plum crazy cops. Serge is certainly the funniest and most endearing serial killer imaginable and I can always do with more of him and less of some of the ancillary characters and plots, but this book has more Serge than we have seen in recent books and for that we should give thanks. If you are a fan, you will enjoy this book…if this is new to you then maybe start with Hurricane Punch then the Big Bamboo. As always the performance (calling it a narration does not do it justice) by George Wilson is impeccable.

Great fun!

Serge and Coleman travel through the Everglades with the cops in hot pursuit. Doesn't seems they will make it this time...

Great fun!

brotherhood

there wasn't anything to dislike. unless the fact that this isn't a live action show or movie.

Another excellent adventure

In my humble opinion, this is the best adventure since Hurricane Punch. There were several moments where I actually laughed out-loud (something a book rarely offers). I really enjoyed the multiple threads and revisiting with some of my favorite characters from previous books. And a couple of excellent and unexpected twists make for an excellent Serge and Coleman installment. Thanks Tim and Oliver. I look forward to the next adventure.
