Awesome chaos and mayhem as usual. Two favorite moments: Serge's son, and death by dinosaur sponges. Brilliant and can't wait for the next one!

Tim Dorsey's Electric Barracuda was a bit of a miss for me. While Dorsey, as always, provides a brilliant history lesson into the history and tourist traps within Florida, the book length chase between his serial killer main character Serge Storms (think Dexter meets Bugs Bunny via Bill Bryson) and a disturbed detective, Mahoney, drags on too long without the outlandish situations found in other Dorsey books. The reason for the entire chase becomes clear at the end of the book with a nice twist that ties it all together, but overall the book feels like padding. Recommended for fans, but others might do well to start with another Dorsey book first.
