Thompson."-- "Rocky Mountain News""Some of the most wacky villians and situations since Hiaasen stuck a plastic alligator down a strangers throat and called it "Tourist Season.""-- "Chicago Tribune""Close on the hyperactive heels of last years "Florida Roadkill," Tampa writer Tim Dorsey has unleashed an equally blistering sequel."-- "Florida Today""With this follow-up to "Florida Roadkill," Dorsey places himself in the ranks of Laurence Shames and Carl Hiassen as a writer of hilarious, violent farces set in Florida...And a delightfully giddy ride it is, ending with the promise of more craziness to come." -- "Publishers Weekly""It would be easy to lump the 39-year old Dorsey with other authors of Florida sub-genre fiction. Where Dorsey differs from writers such as Carl Hiassen, James Hall and Elmore Leonard is the extent to which Dorsey twists the knife, ever aiming for maximum bloodletting. Those guys fire bullets. Dorsey makes sure his gun is filled with hollow-point."-- "Sarasota Herald-Tribune""Another raucous roadshow in the spirit of "Florida Roadkill.""-- "New York Times Book Review""In "Hammerhead Ranch Motel," Dorsey frequently...exhibits both a prodigious talent for dialogue and a delightful sense of the absurd."-- "St. Petersburg Times"""Hammerhead Ranch Motel" is Dorseys follow-up to his hilarious debut, "Florida Roadkill." Its sweet relief to discover that Dorsey can keep up with himself. God knows nobody else can."-- "Miami Herald""Dorsey imbues "Hammerhead Ranch Motel" with the same wry humor, outlandish charactersand raw-edged situations that were the driving force of his 1999 debut novel, "Florida Roadkill.""-- "Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel""Dorsey...is back with a sequel that continues and amplifies the manic energy, wild characters, and outrageous situations of the original."-- "Booklist""Dorsey hit the ball out of the park with his debut novel, "Florida Roadkill." Now he has encored with the equally wild, wicked and wonderful "Hammerhead Ranch Motel.""-- "Boca Raton News"""Hammerhead Ranch Motel" is violent, vulgar, hysterically funny, and filled with wonderful, unique characters..."-- BookPage.com Details ISBN0380732343 Author Tim Dorsey Pages 384 Publisher HarperTorch Language English ISBN-10 0380732343 ISBN-13 9780380732340 Media Book DEWEY FIC Year 2001 Short Title HAMMERHEAD RANCH MOTEL Residence FL, US Series Serge Storms DOI 10.1604/9780380732340 Series Number 2 Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2001-05-29 NZ Release Date 2001-05-29 US Release Date 2001-05-29 UK Release Date 2001-05-29 Format Paperback Publication Date 2001-05-29 Imprint HarperTorch Audience General Imprint US HarperTorch Publisher US HarperCollins We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
