    About this audiobook

    “The undisputed king of the comic crime novel.”
    —Providence Journal

    “I guarantee Dorsey will never win the Nobel Prize for Literature—he’s far too funny.”
    —Richmond Times-Dispatch

    “If you’ve never read Dorsey, you need to start…You won’t be disappointed.”
    —Miami Herald

    Gloriously unrepentant Florida serial killer Serge Storms is back—and he’s finagled his way into becoming a secret agent in Miami—in another outrageous crime comedy from New York Times bestselling author, Tim Dorsey. In Pineapple Grenade, the incomparable Serge takes up spying for the president of a banana republic, and now Homeland Security wants to bring him down. It’s always a wild ride when Dorsey’s at the wheel, and with Pineapple Grenade he delivers his most explosively hilarious road trip to date.

      Serge Storms is a homicidal vigilante and with his sidekick, Coleman they are out to save Miami. This is a comical story that has some disturbing is not unique ways to kill a person. Tom Dorsey’s books are not for everyone. Although funny at times, I did not go hysterical and find Serge’s exploits colorful but not for me.
    • 1/5
      Unavailable in my country is all I get. Not fair
    • 4/5
      Serge and Coleman take on intelligence agencies and spread their particular brand of madness from Tampa to Miami, a city where madness is endemic. When Serge decides he wants to be a spy, he spreads enough disinformation that a small island nation, two competing CIA groups, and an extremely unethical political operative area all vying for his services.Dorsey’s news-generated humor is as fresh as ever and he has a pretty good handle on Miami’s particular brand of insanity. You’ve got to love a story where the homeless carry Kurt Vonnegut novels in paper bags instead of pint bottles. “That guy knows the real shit, man! The whole fuckin’ lay-down: time travel, other planets, alternate planes of existence. You need those if you’re going to survive in Miami.” As always, Serge murders the deserving using inventive and hilarious methods, the addled Coleman does the wrong things that somehow turn out right, characters from past books make cameo appearances, and Florida history plays a large part in the plot. A scene in the Liberty City rap club that spawned Luther Campbell is as funny as it gets. Serge never gets old. Dorsey is able to breathe life into each new book in the series.
    • 3/5
      This book was worth it simply for the hilarious explanation as to why the media started claiming Barack Obama is a socialist.
    • 3/5
      Typical Serge and Coleman adventure
    • 1/5
      Pineapple Grenade the latest book in the Serge Storm series, is so bad I don't know where do I begin? Much of what I am going to say has been said by others but I don't think it can be overdone. This book is awful! Serge is up to the same wandering ranting psychotic behavior only it just is not funny anymore, and the political angle is just stupid. If you think you are the next P J O'Rourke, you aren't. Not even on the same field of his last book, which should never have seen the light of day. Mr. Dorsey please for the love of God quit this series. Nothing in this latest adventure of Serge is word remembering. This book is the result of 1 of 2 things; 1. The publisher wants to milk this series for every last penny it can, or 2, Tim Dorsey like fellow Floridian Jimmy Buffett, knows that he can write anything, and his dumb loyal fan base, will think it is great. Well Mr. Dorsey I am no longer part of that fan base. This book wanders everywhere but never has a point.Tim, Living in Florida you can go one of 3 ways; you could be a white trash, redneck meth-head, racist, who liberals automatically assume is a conservative, you could be a regular guy trying to make a living, or in your case you could be a loony Liberal who has totally cashed in and realizes that the people who buy what you sell are ignorant sheep and will think you walk on water no matter what crap you sell.This is true of the above mentioned Jimmy Buffett, one of the most hypocritical, greedy, liberal people using up oxegen on the planet or your fellow Author Carl Hiaasen who stopped being interesting, or funny four books ago, and is now just another pompous liberal. Tim I thought you were better than that. I don't care about your politics, after all you live in a state tied with California for being screwed up, what I want is a good book, and this waste of paper is not it. Please stop this series!
