Atomic Lobster Free with Bonus Material by Tim Dorsey

“This is Serge’s Charm School. We’re teaching manners.”
I am used to getting what I expect with Dorsey, whole bunch of laughs based on an outrageous story line and set of events, and this book is no exception. I did realize that this is not a great book to read on a plane. You will end up getting weird looks when you laugh out loud in instances like the one in which a chick wants to get banged while interacting with other people and trying to get them not to notice what is going on. Classic!
Fans of the series will be happy to know that we have several returning characters, such as Johnny Vegas, the Accidental Virgin, who is always good for some entertainment. But maybe more importantly, we have a few characters that are connected with the events that transpired years ago in Triggerfish Twist. This leads to some of them seeking revenge and others dreading running into Serge and Coleman again.
Do not expect a deviation from the path in terms of writing style. We get the typical back and forth in time, the slapstick comedy, the over the top violence, kinky relationships and a whole lot of cursing. On top of all that, we do get a “tour” on a select set of historical places and interesting facts about the Tampa Bay area. The fact that I live there probably helps with me enjoying this book more than others. I do believe though that people seeking for some outrageous comedy will like Dorsey, and those that are already fans of the series will not be disappointed in this one.
