Book Reviews of Atomic Lobster: A Novel (Serge a. Storms)
Book Review: Killer comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
Dorsey serves up
Serge #10
But as it's my first
I hope you'll humor me
As I enthuse
A Florida setting
Is the stage for
A murderously humorous
Serial killer
With selective morals
Serge,
Anti-hero, ladies man
And a genius
When it comes to
Revenge killings
Indeed, Serge A. Storms is the star of the Dorsey books. Mentally unbalanced and off his meds, he somehow manages to be a likeable character - even when he's devising ingenious ways of killing bad people. In this book he kills at least six people in unique ways, although he's not the only interesting character.
Other characters:
Jim Davenport - Jim and his wife Martha first met Serge ten years before the events of this book. They lived in Triggerfish Lane (another book title in the series) and were survivors of a home invasion by the McGraw Brothers. They have now moved to Lobster Lane, and aren't too pleased to see Serge.
Coleman - Serge's drug-addled sidekick, and dumb as a post, except when it comes to bong-making.
Rachael - Six foot tall professional girl with a drug habit and a heck of a mouth
The G-Unit - Four feisty grannies leading a cruise ship existence while participating in extreme ballroom dancing and illicit boozing
Tex McGraw - McGraw Brother who missed the Triggerfish Lane invasion, and is still sore about it.
Smugglers in white linen and Smugglers in tunics - A game of pass the artifacts involves many leading characters
Johnny Vegas - The Accidental Virgin
Gaylord Wainscotting -Resident of Lobster Lane
Foxtrot - Secret Agent
Dorsey is a genius of comedy and timing, as his characters interlock and intertwine into a story of grand proportions. Recommended for fans of Carl Hiaasen and dark comedies.
Rated: 4.5 stars
