	Bookreporter.com - TRIGGERFISH TWIST by Tim Dorsey
		TRIGGERFISH TWIST is a work of fiction, which means that the events depicted in it are not true.
		The nominal focal point of TRIGGERFISH TWIST is Jim Davenport, who takes a voluntary transfer to Tampa, Florida, and with family in tow moves to 888 Triggerfish Lane.
		With TRIGGERFISH TWIST, Dorsey has transformed himself from an author to be enjoyed to an artist whose next book will be anticipated with as much fervor as this one will be enjoyed.

	Triggerfish Twist by Tim Dorsey Detailed Book Review
		Meanwhile in the same Triggerfish Lane area, Lance Boyle rents to the shoddiest tenants on the planet.
		The latest Serge tale TRIGGERFISH TWIST is a very humorous look at suburbia through the eyes of a kindhearted urban con man. The story line is wacky, as Serge looks so comfortable outside his element.
		The wild, multi-faceted plot careens around Triggerfish Lane and out into the streets of Tampa, where everything from used-car lots to people who pay by check at convenience stores are mercilessly lampooned by Dorsey's razor-wit before returning to the Davenport home for an Independence Day barbecue that offers a truly explosive finale.

	BookPage Fiction Review: Whodunit? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Tim Dorsey's rollicking Triggerfish Twist is a clever and twisted story about a mild-mannered corporate consultant who gets transferred from Indiana to Florida.
		At first glance, the new house on Triggerfish Lane seems idyllic; at second glance, it is decidedly less so: across the street an unleashed pit bull makes threatening noises; just down the block a trio of crackheads share a communal pipe; unmuffled cars (many stolen) rumble down the street at all hours of the night.
		Very much in the vein of novels by Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard, Triggerfish Twist is an irreverent and hilarious take on Florida, families, corporations and other such nutcases.

		Milquetoast Jim Davenport, an unlikely corporate hatchet man at the Indiana office of Apollo Consulting, a company specializing in downsizing the executive suites of top-heavy corporations, is promoted and moves with his wife, Martha, and their three kids to 888 Triggerfish Lane in Tampa.
		Triggerfish Twist was not my usual 'type' of book to purchase.
		An insanely twisted tale of how Midwestern milquetoast Jim Davenport moved his family to Triggerfish Lane, anticipating the good life of Florida.

		The fish was nicely textured, smoky and flaky, its vegetable companions crisp and mouth-watering.
		Not that there’s anything particularly Japanese about a Caribbean triggerfish — just that the Japanese philosophy is to let the ingredients speak for themselves.
		The portions were generous, the triggerfish was delicious, and I was still doing my best to eat slowly.

		They're literally going to hell if you believe Florida's Agent Mahoney, a law-enforcer who studies the Book of Revelation so he'll be prepared for the inevitable rise in crime such an event would trigger.
		Triggerfish isn't exactly a prequel, isn't exactly a sequel to Dorsey's first book, Florida Roadkill.
		After Serge's compatriots, the perpetually stoned Coleman and the manic crack whore Sharon, burn down their hideout and a large section of historic Tampa Bay, Serge and company take shelter on dysfunctional Triggerfish Lane amongst busybody retirees, druggie college students, a tyrannical, lawn-obsessed Little League coach, and people who never leave their homes.

		Set during the summer before the fun-filled bloodbath that is Florida Roadkill (which in turn takes place during the Marlins' World Series run), Serge and his pals Coleman and Sharon move to a quiet suburb on Triggerfish Lane.

		Stolen cars materialize because the Triggerfish neighborhood is on the Tampa grid, making it a natural getaway route for carjackers.
		And an unscrupulous speed-freak real estate speculator is buying up the homes in the neighborhood, renting them to the worst possible tenants, and looking forward to bulldozing the entire neighborhood to put up townhouses.

		I think that Triggerfish must have happened sometime in the middle of RoadKill.
		Biggest problem with them as prequels is that the characters don't meet till we are into Roadkill whish would make it hard for them to be shacked you in Triggerfish.
		It doesn't really mater anyway because as any comic book fan knows a character is only die till they need him/ her for a story then they aren't dead any more.

	Rambles: Tim Dorsey, Triggerfish Twist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Mistakenly believing Tampa to be the third best city in the United States for raising a family (there was a typo), Jim Davenport moves his family to a lovely old home on Triggerfish Lane.
		Among those renting on Triggerfish are a loose collective of college students, who do what stereotypical party-hearty college students are wont to do, and a trio of criminals on the lam: Serge, Coleman and Sharon.
		Serge, a genius-level eccentric with a yen for history, is probably Dorsey's greatest coup in characterization; his adventures could easily fill a whole series of novels.

		I found "Bamboo" one of his best: a clever and biting parody that playfully skewers Hollywood's plastic pretentious culture and the movies it spews, reality shows, and pop thriller fiction.
		Sorry folks but if you haven't read Triggerfish Twist and Stingray Shuffle.
		Go back and get the two aformentioned books - Especially Triggerfish and you will be laughing out loud for the entire book.

	This Writing Life--Mark Terry
		"The Triggerfish are a group of very beautiful, very aggressive and very strong fish.
		And I wasn't thinking of "Triggerfish Twist" by Tim Dorsey.
		I've only completed reading one of his books and gave up on his latest one, which, had I completed it, I would have been paid to review it.
