Gloriously unrepentant Florida serial killer Serge Storms is back—and he’s finagled his way into becoming a secret agent in Miami—in another outrageous crime comedy from New York Times bestselling author, Tim Dorsey. In Pineapple Grenade, the incomparable Serge takes up spying for the president of a banana republic, and now Homeland Security wants to bring him down. It’s always a wild ride when Dorsey’s at the wheel, and with Pineapple Grenade he delivers his most explosively hilarious road trip to date.

Crazy

Serge on overdrive and Coleman’s insane. Really, I’ve bought the series, I really really like it

always awesome

As always, Tim Dorsey gives us a great book, love the narrator. If you love Serge and Coleman, you'll love this one.

A favorite

This misadventure seems larger and more epic then past books it is one of my favorites in the series

the best

serg at his best making a better tomorrow for those with manners. grate read get it.

another great Serge story.

The Serge stories come to life with Oliver. very early i heard a narration with someone else. i skipped it.

This one ran off the rails and never came back.

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

I would not recommend this as their first Serge book. I have read nearly all of Dorsey's books and would say this is the weakest of them all.

Would you be willing to try another book from Tim Dorsey? Why or why not?

I read all the Tim Dorsey books because they make me laugh out loud. But this is one you can skip.

What does Oliver Wyman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love his portrayal of Coleman.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Probably just to see who they cast as Serge

Any additional comments?

I love Tim Dorsey's books. My biggest problem is that I read in bed and I chuckle so much when reading that it keeps my wife from sleeping. That said, this one was a disappointment. The most enjoyable thing about a Serge Storm book is that he is a zany, madcap anarchist which an overweening sense of historic justice. He has always been apolitical in that he looks down on all politicians and their ilk. This time he lets his dormant BDS issues out, which really interferes with the flow. He also writes this one more as a thriller which is no consistent with the other Serge books. This one can be skipped unless you really want to read the whole series.

Dorsey at his best

If you have never tried one of Tim Dorsey's "Serge" books, this one is a great start. He has been able to maintain these insane characters over several books with extremely creative plots (and murders) while taking his fresh shots at Floridian foibles. As usual, I found myself literally LOL. I'm already impatient for the next book. The only shortfall I noted was vagueness at Johnny Vegas' latest disaster. There is usually a more graphic description of how his dismal record is kept intact. Oliver Wyman has honed his narration to perfection (and we know narrators are gods - read the book). Download this book and be ready for the wild ride -- heck, be bold and live large like Serge, and download all his books! They're addictive.

A fun romp through south Florida.

Excellent narration by Oliver Wyman.
And as always Tim Dorsey is superb!
I loved it!

Fun but not for the whole family.

What made the experience of listening to Pineapple Grenade the most enjoyable?

I loved this it made me laugh out loud. I couldn't wait to get back in the car to listen to more of it. Tim Dorsey always makes me laugh and this book was no exception.

I am totally enthralled and addicted

Yes, Serge is a bit off but his motives are genuine. You've got yo love him.
