Nuclear Jellyfish Audiobook Summary

“Dorsey’s brilliantly, profanely funny 11th novel…zips along like P.G. Wodehouse’s best work.”
Richmond Times-Dispatch

Tim Dorsey’s outrageously zany, gleefully violent, and uproariously funny Nuclear Jellyfish marks the triumphant return of lovable, thrill-killing Florida historian and tireless civic booster Serge A. Storms. The bestselling author of Atomic Lobster, Triggerfish Twist, and Florida Roadkill, Dorsey can match Carl Hiaasen punch-for-punch when it comes to fictionally depicting Sunshine State madness–and he’s taken his rightful place alongside Christopher Moore in the pantheon of top American humorists. Nuclear Jellyfish is a veritable WMD of radioactive hilarity–as Denver’s Rocky Mountain News so aptly puts it, “It doesn’t get any better.”

Serge and Coleman are back! But could this be their last adventure together?I'm running out of ways to describe Serge A. Storms - imagine the energizer bunny and Bugs Bunny fucking a Barricuda Hooker (you will have to read this book if you are not familiar) while tasering her...and what do you get? Me, calling you a sick fucker for even getting a mental picture - that shit is just off. Shame on you, weirdo!Ahem, sorry if you feel that I tricked you into that last one, but that is just a glimpse at the way Serge's mind could work on a good day. He's been off his meds for a lot of books now, and this is the one where you are going to say:Serge is going crazy! Well, um, crazy-er...Not only that, but somebody is after him. Not just Mahoney - we all know about him - but a serious threat. Somebody took out a contract on his life!And Coleman is, well, a special kind of special. He was actually sober for one page in this book...oh, no, wait, had the wrong character there...They will be traveling with Story, a stripper - SLAP - ouch, sorry, dancer...And there will be the guys with the long, shampoo resistant hair...and the coin sellers conventions...and Serge taking the internet by storm with his travel guide website...The one question that will remain until the end - will Serge actually die in this one? Dorsey has played around with time before, so the other novels after this one could very well be about the past. You'll have to find out for yourself, I'm afraid.I live by the motto:What happens in imaginary Florida, stays in imaginary Florida!-------------------------------------------This one was a barrel of laughs, like all the others before.And, to give Dorsey credit, I have no idea whether all the facts Serge tells us about Floridian history is true, but he makes everything seem at least plausible.Recommended to all those who heed the words:Killing is never funny, but it can be hilarious at times...

Another fun read about Serge and the always stoned Coleman. This one is about diamond smugglers, trade show participants, the Eel with a florescent tattoo on his abdomen, Serge's blog about historical places in Florida and Agent Mahoney catching up to Serge. Also involved is Story Long, a college going exotic dancer who tags along with the boys. As usual, there are several unique murder methods explained in detail.

Love ALL the Tim Dorsey Serge Storm series, the books that make all of the "Florida Man Headlines" come alive...Dorsey answers the question of why there are so many of these headlines and he gives us the best answer, “Everywhere else, if you pass out, its in a snowbank and you die!"...Our anti-hero Serge is a serial killer that protects all things, people and places that are "Florida"...In "Nuclear Jellyfish," Serge and his "Meyer," Coleman (referencing another Florida fictional icon) target scam artists ripping off gem couriers...Of course, its much more than that, but there are so many books to get to...Read it and love it too!!!

Another great ride in the life of Serge Storms and his stoned sidekick Coleman! If these books don't make you laugh at least a little then your sense of humor may be damaged.

I laughed out loud.That's right, you heard me. I laughed out loud. That doesn't happen often to me when reading a book. So when it does, I take notice.And I didn't just laugh once. Not by a long shot. I laughed often, chuckled repeatedly, and smiled almost the entire way through.I have a new favorite author, and his name is Tim Dorsey.Tim Dorsey has managed to create the ultimate anti-hero in Serge A. Storms, the psychotic/obsessive/compulsive/homicidal/vengeful/chaotic force of nature that travels the lovely state of Florida with his completely useless and helpless junkie alcoholic sidekick, Coleman.When we first meet Serge and Coleman in the book, they are staking out a bridge, discussing Lynyrd Skynyrd, and wearing diapers in reverence of a lunatic astronaut.This alone should make you want to start reading.Serge has decided to launch his own Travel Guide Blog to Florida, featuring handy survival tips for the Floridian Tourist, such as how to tell where the criminals are sleeping by the way the cars are parked, and how to avoid Barracuda Hookers. This quest has him criss-crossing the Sunshine state in search of the iconic landmarks littering its landscape, many of them involving Lynyrd Skynyrd.Along the way, Serge and his Incompetent Compatriot pick up a hitchhiking exotic dancer on a mission of vengeance and tuition, stumble upon a band of diamond smuggling coin collectors, and go head to head with a blood-thirsty sociopath with a horribly botched glow-in-the-dark tattoo, all the while being chased down by a suspended detective perpetual stuck in a crime fiction noir novel, and a mysterious stranger who seems to know Serge's every move better then he knows himself.Still not interested?Despite all of this, Serge manages to periodically take time out to exact twisted justice on perceived predators of the everyday civilian in a myriad of inventively gruesome ways. Combining his love of Home Depot with his distaste for con-men, hustlers, predators and all-around villains, Serge exacts a MacGyver-like ingenuity with a diabolical mean streak that guarantees a high death-toll, and amusing assortment of severed limbs, and over a million hits on YouTube.What more could you want?Tim Dorsey manages to combine the madcap with the morose, and creates a Punisher meets The Three Stooges romp through Florida that is exciting, unpredictable, and laugh-out-loud hilarious.Trust me, just read the book already. You'll thank me.

Honestly, I cannot tell you how much I look forward to the release of a new Tim Dorsey novel. All of Dorsey's books take place in Florida, and he includes some interesting facts about the state, the people who live there, and the people who visit. Dorsey's main character, Serge A. Storms (remember we are in Florida), as our travel host and all around bad guy (but lovable).Serge is a psychopath and serial killer who travels around Florida trying to promote the Sunshine State. He is accompanied by his partner, Coleman, who is always high on drugs or alcohol, or both.Serge has a problem with people who do not conform to his beliefs. This includes and not restricted to: eating, singing, manners, and you name it. Serge gives them a chance to mend their ways, but if they don't, they will suffer the wrath of Serge. Although he is a serial killer, Serge says that, he would like to quit killing people, the only problem is God put so many people on earth that need to be killed. He also finds new and, quite honestly, ingenious ways for people to meet their demise. In "Nuclear Jellyfish", he wraps a person in a soaker garden hose and turns on the water that expands the hose and causes the person to die of high blood pressure due to constriction.Serge and Coleman are not for everybody, but if you want a hilarious romp through Florida, these guys are a trip.These are easy and fast reads, but one must be cautioned that some sexual content and language might be a problem for some readers.

In “Nuclear Jellyfish” Tim Dorsey has his demented protagonist Serge A. Storms discover the Internet and decide to keep a travel blog. His blog entries are some of the funniest monologues in the book, especially the hilarious Chapter 21. This novel (the 11th in the series) also sees the return of Serge’s nemesis, the noir detective Agent Mahoney. Mahoney’s role changes a little in this installment and I am curious to see what Mr. Dorsey does with his character in future books.This novel features a story that is clever and tightly written and plotted and the twists build up to the very last page. Of special note in “Nuclear Jellyfish” are the hysterical one liners throughout. Dorsey is so talented at those! It also features the typical crazy inventive methods Serge uses to knock off people. The store Home Depot plays a large part in Serge’s murders, and I am curious what the store brand thinks of all of the mentions.Speaking of murder, Serge’s “code” comes up more in this text than I recall in any of the previous ones. Dorsey seems very determined in this book to remind us that Serge kills people whose actions deserve it. The sudden emphasis on this (although it has been a part of the series all along) is intriguing and might come to play a larger role in future works?“Nuclear Jellyfish” is a fun quick read, par for the course with Dorsey. Unlike most beach reads however these books are actually well written. Enjoy!

I am now a fan of Serge A. Storms! Nuclear Jellyfish follows Serge as he and his baked pal, Coleman dispense their patented freelance law enforcement throughout Florida. Protecting the weak, helpless, and less than smart from the crooks that target them, Serge is hot on the trail of a group of thugs targeting collectible stamp and coin dealers who happen to be moonlighting as diamond couriers. Only Serge knows in his manic brain how things will end, and one thing is for sure: you want Serge to be on your side!

Tim Dorsey's books are not for everyone. The main character is a serial killer and his side-kick is a super stoner. The books are all pretty formulaic with Serge (the killer) taking care of some jerk that is definitely in need of it and then homicidal yet zany hijinx ensue. You should also understand that there is profanity everywhere in the books and as well as TONS of alcohol and drug use. Having said all that I really do enjoy Dorsey's books and find Serge to be a highly enjoyable character. He has AD/HD and some OCD and gets all his inspiration from Home Depot. He's addicted to Florida and knows every little piece of obscure trivia there is about his beloved home state. He may be one of my favourite characters in fiction. This book is follows Dorseys typical formula and I enjoyed it.

Picked this up at the library not quite knowing what to expect. In the end I enjoyed the ride. I appreciated Serge and Coleman by the end for the good work they did, though not necessarily in the right way. Serge the psychopath with a heart, and Coleman the stoner. Felt like Fear and Loathing combined with Pulp Fiction, with a sort of murderous A-Team approach to torture methods thrown in for good measure. I found the Florida trivia interesting, but tired of the novel killing methods by the end. The last two came so close together I got bored. However, in the grand scheme of things this proved to be a good read well written, and I turned it around in two weeks of steady going. Recommended for beach reading or people who appreciate something slightly off the wall.
