4 ½ stars. Fun. This guy is really good. I laughed a lot.Humorous essays on a variety of topics. Most of them were funny. But a few less so. The weakest ones for me were the one about writing a screenplay and Dave’s retelling of “Twilight” the famous teenage vampire story. It was funny at first, but he could have stopped after the first third or so. It became repetitive.The author did a great job of narrating the audiobook. Good timing with pauses. I didn’t have to keep stopping the tape the way I did with Woody Allen.DATA:Unabridged audiobook length: 4 hrs and 16 mins. Swearing language: religious swear words used once or twice. Sexual content: none, other than jokes about one’s private parts. Book copyright: 2010. Genre: humorous essays.
When I was little I would read Dave Barry's column every week in our paper. He's corny and silly but funny. I am the very weird 5th grader who got a book of his columns for Christmas and was overjoyed. This book - meh. Some of the essays were very funny - I did enjoy the How to Save the Newspaper Industry one. But others were very much like "Men are like this and women are like this" and it didn't always hit the mark.
Har-de-har-har.
