Naked Came The Florida Man by Tim Dorsey
Serge and Coleman make their way across Florida dispensing historic trivia as well as their own brand of justice and violence upon any wrongdoers who happened to cross their path.
Long-time fans will enjoy another adventure with the quirky pair. Their interactions will have you alternately shaking your head and laughing out loud. Serge likes to dispense homespun wisdom such as “..cakes are the pole dancers of the bakery world but pie is the girl you take home to Mom.” Coleman is happy so long as he can find something to fashion a bong out of.
As much as I enjoyed spending time with Serge and Coleman, I enjoyed the intersecting storyline of a young girl named Chris even more. In alternating chapters, we meet Chris when she's a young girl and follow her all the way to the end of High School. Along the way, we see her determination, her love of football and her book smarts as well as her fascination with lost treasure. She is the real hero of the story.
Tim Dorsey’s love of Florida shines clearly throughout the book. He manages to create a fascinating mystery to go along with his mainstay characters, Serge and Coleman, as well as plenty of interesting side characters and villains. The love of Florida even shines through in the typeface for the chapter numbers which are reminiscent of an old “Welcome to Florida” postcard.
This is another great entry in the long-running series that will sure be sure to please existing fans and is easy for those who are new to the series to jump right into. Highly recommended.
I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher.
