  <default_description>&lt;p&gt; Sunshine State trivia buff Serge A. Storms loves eliminating jerks and pests. His drug-addled partner Coleman loves cartoons. Hot stripper Sharon Rhodes loves cocaine, especially when purchased with rich dead men's money. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; On the other hand, there's Sean and David, who love fishing and are kind to animals -- and who are about to cross paths with a suitcase filled with $5 million in stolen insurance money. Serge wants the suitcase. Sharon wants the suitcase. Coleman wants more drugs . . . and the suitcase. In the meantime, there's murder by gun, Space Shuttle, Barbie doll, and Levi's 501s. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; In other words, welcome to Tim Dorsey's Florida -- where nobody gets out unscathed and untanned! &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[He is hilarious, I will give him that.  However, his humor doesn't quite take the edge off of the violence for me.  This book is like the movies Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill and if you like that, you will like this book.  He does do that type of book really well.  I just could not quite stomach the vi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77228955">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the third of three books by Tim Dorsey that I've read and it is the best written of the trio. However, while the journey through the pages is humorous, exciting and, at times, gripping, the ending lacks the over-the-top flair of Dorsey's regular climaxes.<br/><br/>All-in-all, this is good fu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55918158">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It takes a truly warped personality to create something funny and very readable about a homicidal schitzo who has an unusual sense of honor and is also passionate about the history of the state of Florida.  Maybe it takes someone who grew up in Florida......before Disney World to appreciate him! Ser...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50716272">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Tim Dorsey is to Carl Hiassen as Richard Pryor is to Dave Berry. Or: imagine a slapstick Jeff Lindsay - &quot;Darkly Dreaming Dexter&quot; on laughing gas. Sick, twisted, and brutally funny. My only complaint: it was exhausting to read, just one action-gag after another from breathless start to brea...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50515253">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[What did I learn from this book?  That gruesome murder is something to be laughed at?  <br/><br/>Well, yes, I DID get a few good laughs from 'Road Kill,' but the characters are so quirky, the action so absurd - it would be difficult NOT to!  My hesitation is that Dorsey finds it &quot;necessary&quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22436692">more...</a>]]></body>
