Title: Lights... Camera... CUT! Someone get Coleman out of the props locker!
Product review: If you know Dorsey, you know what to expect from one of his novels, and this is little different... the biggest change being that the majority of the book takes place in Hollywood, California (instead of Florida.) Serge, our favorite anti-hero serial killer, has become fixated on the movie industry and the nettling question of why movies set in Florida of late stink like the Everglades on a hot afternoon. Armed with his own screenplay, he and his drug-addled sidekick trek out west to rectify the situation, and get caught up in multiple dovetailing sideplots along the way.Hollywood has been skewered before, of course, so technically this book breaks little new ground, but admittedly it is well-done and a hoot to read. There are stronger entries in Dorsey's catalog (and if you're new to him, start elsewhere), but Big Bamboo is still a solid entry.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
