Summary: Light and funny
Comment: Being a huge Dave Barry fan, I had to read this book, and I was not disappointed. The book is a collection of columns he wrote, mostly from the early 1990's; presumably, these are his funniest and the ones that got the most responses from readers. And you'd be surprised the kind of responses he gets from readers, some of whom can't seem to grasp that Dave's columns are supposed to be funny.
I, unlike those readers, had no trouble finding the humor in this book. I've probably read it 100 times, and parts of it still crack me up. He writes mostly about unusual news stories sent in by "alert readers" regarding exploding toilets and other such oddities. Its format-short essays of about 2 or 3 pages each-makes it ideal for people with short attention spans, but others will enjoy it too. If you've never read a Dave Barry book, you need to start, and I'm guessing this one will help get you hooked.

Summary: If you haven't read Dave Barry then ....
Comment: this is the place to start. The book is a collection of his Miami Herald columns. Barry's hyperbolic style is on the money as he always gives razor sharp insight into ridiculous human behavior. You can't help but laugh at many of the stories while nodding your head in agreement.
If you have read Dave Barry, this book is one of his best works. A must read for Barry and non-Barry fans alike.
Rating: 5
Summary: I agree with the other reviewers
Comment: If you have never read Dave Barry this is a wonderful place to start. The guy is hilarious and while I can respect say Dennis Leary it is nice to read a guy who can be funny without swearing every 5th word.
Highlights of this book include
Dave Barry goes to China
Dave Barry checks out Graceland
Dave Barry's list of the worst song ever
Overall-If you want to laugh get this now
