Key Weirder Paperback – July 1, 2005

This was a little strange at the beginning, but once I got into the book it was really a great read. The author has created a group of caricatures and a storyline that is so humorous that it makes this book a great read. If you enjoy a laugh, read this and the other related books.

I like these light adventures - no message, no gore. Robert Tacoma knows his South Florida fiction, so you will find references to Hiassen's ex Gov. Skink or maybe a description of Doc Ford's hangout. These novels are not as dark as Randy Wayne White's work, nor as wild and crazy as that of Tim Dorsey, but they are in that league. Personally, I prefer the Key ones to those set in South Texas. Here is my attempt to list them chronologically, which is probably the best order to read the Key ones.Robert Tacoma (various protagonists) Key Weird. 2005. 4.0 Key Weirder 2005 4.3 Color Me Weird 2007 4.3 no, it really is a coloring book, with a story Key Witch 2008 4.3 Key Lucky 2008 4.0 Possum Surprise 2009 3.3 S Texas small town, duller.

I love this guy! I just discovered Robert Tacoma a few weeks ago, and I'm already into the third book of the weird series. I'm thinking maybe reincarnation could be real, and it appears that Elmore Leonard and Robin Williams teamed up and came back as Robert Tacoma. Weird, funny, and extremely entertaining!

Awesome !!!!!

I accidentally re-purchased Key Wierd again, forgetting that I had already read it. It was the first Robert Tacoma book I read. I re-read it, since I bought both Wierd and Wierder at the same time. Both were pretty shallow, but Wierder seems like Mr. Tacoma was just trying to kick out a book as fast as easily as he could. Not much to recommend, unless you want to see how Wierd ends up.

What can I say!? Robert Tacoma is the MASTER of Key West intrigue. His writing skills for descriptive narrative on the wacky and mysterious side of Key West, the southern most point in the US is magnificent. The entire series of Key West novels are a must read! Long live Taco Bob! It doesn't get any better than this!

I like most of the series, I just think there is too much fish information. Almost seems at times he is trying to fill up pages with extra information. The dream stuff gets a little odd sometimes as well.

Mr. Tacoma's books are fasinating. They all tell stories about Florida and I have been to several of the towns and places described. Just purchased the rest of the collection and recomend reading them in the order they were written.
