doug reviewed Tropic of Stupid by Tim Dorsey
Review of 'Tropic of Stupid' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A fun book. (And the first book I've read by Tim Dorsey.)
Tight, spartan narrative prose constantly interrupted by the entertaining ramblings of the book's manic and sociopathic (yet strictly moral) protagonist, who's burning rubber up and down Florida in a borrowed 1970 Cobra with his booze-and-drug-fueled sidekick. It's part Elmore Leonard and part Hunter S. Thompson, with a dash of the Saw movies sprinkled on top.
