"If you're loud and proud Floridian Serge A. Storms, how do you follow up your very own remake of Easy Rider? You shoot your own 'episodes' of your favorite classic television show, Route 66! With Coleman riding shotgun, Serge is rolling down the highway of his dreams in a vintage silver convertible Corvette just like the snazzy car Martin Milner drove. It doesn't matter that the actual Route 66 didn't pass through Florida, for Serge discovers that a dozen episodes near the series' end were filmed (really!) in his beloved home state. So for Serge and the always toked and stoked Coleman, the Sunshine State is all the road you need to get your kicks. But their adventure traveling the byways of the Sunshine State's underbelly is about to take a detour. Someone is trying to tilt the odds in the state lottery amidst a conga line of huge jackpots spinning off more chaos than any hurricane season. With this much at stake, of course every shady character wants in. Crooked bodega owners, drug cartels laundering money through the lottery, and venture capitalists are all trying to game the system--and lining up to get their cut. They're also gambling with their lives, because when Serge and Coleman get hip to this timely (and very lucrative) trip, there's no telling whose number is up next. Throw in Brooke Campanella, Serge's old flame, as well as the perpetually star-crossed Reevis, and it's a sure bet that the ever lucky Serge will hit it big. Winning has never been this deadly--or this much fun!"--… (mehr)

A few books back I nearly gave up on this series. The stories were becoming to scattered, outlandish, political, lazy, and boring.
The last book Coconut Cowboys was an attempt to get back on track. I am happy to say that trend has continued and even been improved on.
There is no real way to describe what this or almost any Tim Dorsey book start Serge Storms is about, except to say think of all the outlandish, crazy shit that happens in Florida and add in a lovable, funny, sociopath (Serge) along with an even more lovable alcoholic drug addict (Colman), a large number of innocent bystanders and you have a classic Tim Dorsey book.
The only downside is the book doesn't last long enough. ( )

America's favorite serial killer, Serge A. Storms, takes to the backroads and byways of Florida again in [a:Tim Dorsey|27017|Tim Dorsey|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1274614239p2/27017.jpg]'s latest addition to the series. This time Serge is obsessed with re-creating scenes from the final season of the TV show Route 66 that were filmed in Florida; of course, in his on inimitable style, which means there will soon be dead bodies scattered about. Absurd and laugh-out-loud hilarious as fans of the series have come to expect, this volume is exciting from beginning to end. Highly recommended to everyone with a sense of humor.

(Note: the publisher provided this ARC to me through a Goodreads giveaway.) ( )

Serge and Coleman do their own Florida-style take on the old Route 66 television series, leaving a trail of bodies and mayhem in their wake. ( )

Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.
Clownfish Blues is a picaresque novel set in the not-quite-parallel universe called Florida. It’s the first book by Tim Dorsey that I’ve read, but seems to the twentieth in a series of similarly themed novels he’s written. Some of the characters have been carried over, but there’s no need to have read the earlier books to enjoy this one. Plot elements are not continued from earlier works; indeed, plot elements are barely continued from one chapter to the next within this book. The plot, such as it is, just follows along as Serge and his perpetually stoned pal Coleman wander around Florida, mildly channeling the old TV show Route 66. Dorsey has a fine eye for the idiosyncrasies of life in paradise, where more-or-less genteel retirement communities are veneered over the infrastructure of swamp rats and crackers and leavened with a few waves of immigrants. The book strings together a series of humorous adventures, poking affectionate fun at the natives along the way. It’s easy-going and good-natured, but never quite gets to the laugh-out-loud level of funny. ( )
