Orange Crush

De: Tim Dorsey

Narrado por: George Wilson

Praising Tim Dorsey’s tongue-in-cheek humor, the Miami Herald wrote, “Nobody, but nobody, writes like this guy.” Here Florida politics take the main stage in a rollicking satire that proves Dorsey’s at the top of his game. When a traumatic experience forever changes Florida gubernatorial race candidate Marlon Conrad’s life, he hits the road in a Winnebago to find the “real” Florida. But his odyssey is plagued with would-be assassins and cutthroat journalists.

I love this series.

It only gets better. I read some of the newer ones first. First rate stories.

Funny even with bad narration

Enjoyable if you can get past the stilted narration. The story is goofball Florida, and the characters are hilarious.

an adventure

always an adventure. I love this series of books. if you like violence humor and adventure this is for you. it's all rolled up in one book!

Politics at its "best"-funny and intriguing

Would you listen to Orange Crush again? Why?

There are some amazing twists that come together all through out the novel that makes me think I may have missed a few really funny ones. Very entertaining!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Orange Crush?

When Marlin's fiance decides to tell him the engagement is off because she has found someone see who appreciates her puppets. Since its his press secretary, they will be forever entwined anyway!

What about George Wilson???s performance did you like?

His voice and timing are extraordinary!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

almost

A wild ride...

What did you love best about Orange Crush?

I'm a big fan of Serge and this episode doesn't let you down, especially in an election year. One of Tim Dorsey's best!

A great listen

This author/narrator combination is a winner. The humor and political satire make for great fun.

Why?????

Why hasn't Hollywood made these into movies or a series? Hiassen is good but Dorsety is sooo much better! This series just gets better with such a Pulp Fiction, GO, Fear and Loathing, Memento 90's vibe with HILARIOUS and delicious dark humor/satire! NEXT! Serge is the Anti-Hero we need in our lives.

From my perspective the humor falls flat

I decided to try a Tom Dorsey novel and Orange Cruse was my selection. It is a satirical novel and was moderately fun to read, but I did not find the humor and satire especially compelling. There are to many excellent novels available for me to listen to more Tom Dorsey books. It's good, but not good enough.

Very funny - for a while.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Great sense of humor, but the jokes got old after a while. I hope the author knows that rich and ruthless Democrats exist in this world, but evidently only Republicans exhibit those qualities in this book.

Would you ever listen to anything by Tim Dorsey again?

Not sure. I like his style but about half-way through I couldn't wait for the book to end so I could start something else. (Vision impaired, so it's only audiobooks for me) The reader was excellent.

Surprisingly contemporary

Tim Dorsey never fails to entertain.Reading Orange Crush Provides light commentary on our present day political climate
