Sunshine State trivia buff Serge A. Storms loves eliminating jerks and pests. His drug-addled partner Coleman loves cartoons. Hot stripper Sharon Rhodes loves cocaine, especially when purchased with rich dead men's money. On the other hand, there's Sean and David, who love fishing and are kind to animals - and who are about to cross paths with a suitcase filled with $5 million in stolen insurance money. Serge wants the suitcase. Sharon wants the suitcase. Coleman wants more drugs... and the suitcase. In the meantime, there's murder by gun, Space Shuttle, Barbie doll, and Levi's 501s. In other words, welcome to Tim Dorsey's Florida - where nobody gets out unscathed and untanned!

I found that the story line is very disjointing, jumping around from character to character. I kept expecting the book to get some “traction”, but it never did. As a Floridian, I was sad that the narrator even mispronounced St. Augustine, even though it wasn’t a crucial part of the tale. It sounds like the author just wanted to write and complain about Florida life in a very smutty way. As a fan of other novels based in Florida and the Keys, as well as some of the Island Nations in the Carribean, I was sad to see that this book really didn’t have a discernible plot!
I only made it through about 20 chapters, which isn’t like me at all!

I loved it just like I have loved all the Tim Dorsey books. same humuorous story-spinning ability he exhibited when he wrote for the Auburn PLAINSMAN paper back in college. the difference now being that I LiVE IN Florida, specifically Panama City Beach, the setting of this story. Tim accurately captures the details of PCB during its heyday as the spring break capitol, which it has furiously succeeded in turning around and is now a safe, family-friendly vacation spot with still the most beautiful beaches in the U S. there are hundreds of hotels in PCB but none that approach the notoriety of the GATOR a go go RANCH motel detailed in this book.
dorsey perfectly overlays his characters of Serge Storms and his perpetuall-buzzed sidekick Coleman onto a story full of the Spring break shenanigans and Miami vice Mafia hyjinx of the 1980- 90s headlines made in Florida. I'm sure Dorsey was there, as was I, to experience this period of time in Florida as a real Spring Breaker because he Nails it so well. Serge and Coleman fit right in and mesh well into the storyline of a young son of an FBI Witness protection client that has mistakenly been outed and is being hunted by the Mob and a bunch of bumbling Agents trying to protect their careers as much as the young kid and his family during his Spring break trip.

Mike Mc has rated Gator a go go as a Florida resid
