Rating:  Summary: A Hat-Trick for Tim Dorsey! Review: What can I say about "Orange Crush", Tim Dorsey's third novel?I know! How about... I absolutely loved this book. I laughed. I giggled. I chortled. I laughed some more. At one point I laughed so hard milk came out of my nose. This frightened me to no end, as I'm lactose intolerant and haven't had milk in about 15 years. (I will be seeking medical help for this condition as soon as I am done writing this review.) "Orange Crush" was a sheer delight to read! Like several other reviewers, I couldn't put it down, finished it one day and found myself severely disappointed when it came to an end. Once again Tim populates his world with an eccentric bunch of loonies that do not disappoint! I don't want to ruin anything for someone who hasn't read this novel, so without giving away too many spoilers . . . I found the scenes inside Helmut von Zeppelin's private skybox hilarious! I also particularly enjoyed Gomer Tatum's penchant for finger foods...DURING gubernatorial debates! "Orange Crush" is pretty much a stand alone novel. You don't have to have read the other two by Tim Dorsey to get the jokes. But if you haven't, pick up his other two novels immediately! Together these three novels paint a devilishly twisted world that really should be put upon the silver screen! Welcome back, Serge!! Nice to see you again! What else can I say?! It's got a front cover, a back cover and a bunch o' pages stuffed with lunacy and brilliant characters in-between. I loved this one! You made my summer Tim!
