Synopsis

Tim Dorsey is the internationally best-selling author of the gleefully over-the-top series starring spree-killer Serge Storms. In The Big Bamboo, Serge and sidekick Coleman head out west to take on Hollywood bigwigs and L.A. lowlifes in Dorsey's most outrageous novel yet. Before Tinseltown knows what's hit it, Serge has made an unforgettable foray to the Playboy Mansion and come up against Japanese Yakuza and a host of wacky characters. "Serge and Coleman are an Abbott and Costello for the new millennium as they bumble their way from one ridiculous exploit to the next ."-Booklist

Time for another Dorsey/Serge read. Plenty of chuckle-worthy bits so far. No belly laughs yet. This will be my second Dorsey book. I'm having a bit more fun reading this than "Midnight's Children" so I'll stick with it 'til I'm done. So far not as good as Cadillac Beach, my only other Dorsey read. Pl......more

Always fun to hang out with Serge and Coleman. It was pretty amazing how this all came together in the end. I wonder if we will be seeing more of Ford. I feel like I am coming down off some psychedelic drugs after that book. I think I will go take a nap. 😉......more
