Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Does Hiassen's political humor draw you, or is it the Dorsey wackiness that grabs your attention? McClelland does a little of each and so I am not sure if anyone is finally thrown out in this West Coast Florida twist up.Perhaps he has been caught up in the essential tolerance of Ceday Key and forgives even the bad guys. While Largo to Key West have an overgrowth of kooks and undergrowth of condo developers, Cedar Key has fewsuch folk and so the author invents some characters and plots which do not quite fit into the "Clam Capitol of America." This makes for a sort of silly plot centered around a scheme to develop a casino on the historic dock. There is a feel the author picked up some superficial bits and pieces, but missed much of the essential Cedar Key life. Additionally the novel misses the real sub-tropical beauty of this old seaport. Certainly there is anough grist on the island for an author, yet I confess I may be holding him to a standard of "didn't do." All in all I would read this if I had it to do over, but I would not take it up as enthusiasticaly as before.

Product Description:
Tattoo Blues is a rollicking and playful comic-mystery, featuring runaway rich kid Desiree Dean who discovers her prized tattoo is a fraud - the Chinese character etched on her left breast says "with hot sauce", not "magnificent animal" - and goes after the artist, and in the resulting confrontation accidentally sets his tattoo parlor ablaze. That results in a mysterious explosion that destroys the parlor and leaves the injured Desiree in the care of a lesbian clam pirate and turns the sleepy Florida Gulf Coast fishing village of Cedar Key upside down.--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
