Reviews

“Fiercely energetic, outrageously funny. . . . Imagine Hunter S. Thompson sharing a byline with Groucho Marx.” - Tampa Tribune

“Explosively funny.” - Miami Herald

“Hilarious” - New York Times Book Review

“Dorsey’s farcical novels are the literary equivalent of a pie in the face and a Three Stooges marathon. And, yes, that is a compliment. . . . Dorsey doesn’t just invite the reader to laugh, he insists on those great belly laughs that sometimes end in a snort and water spewing all over the place. . . . never boring.” - Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
