Triggerfish Twist
I would list Christopher Moore as my favorite writer,
his imagination and humor are the best; but, Tim
Dorsey may have just taken over that spot. I’ll be
able to tell when I finish a couple more of his
books.
I just finished reading “Triggerfish Twist”.
This book never slows down. The characters, and there are a lot of them, are some of the best written characters I’ve seen in a book. The book takes place in Tampa, FL, a town that had just been named the third best town in America to live. This happened by mistake, when the company in charge of making up the list of best towns transcribed the crime rate incorrectly, causing the town to jump from the lower three hundreds the year before, to third this year. A family, the Davenports, move to Tampa as part of a job relocation. While the neighborhood they move into looks nice, they soon find it’s definitely not. I enjoy humorous books, and this one is funnier than any other I have ever read. The situations and characters that Tim Dorsey can dream up are amazing. I found this author through a recommendation when I purchased the last Christopher Moore book. I can definitely see how people that like Christopher Moore like Tim Dorsey. I purchased a couple of his books, so I will be able to see if he’s as consistently funny as Christopher Moore.
