review 1: Crude in spots, funny in others. I felt like I was at a bachelor party with my brother and his motley crew. It was overall not a book I would have read on my own. I am glad that I finished it but parts of it were so juvenile bordering on puerile that I wanted to stop reading i...

review 1: This was a highly entertaining read. There are many funny subplots that the main character, Toby Harbinger, gets entangled with that I’m constantly wondering how it’ll all come together at the end. Reading about Toby’s wild adventures at Hubble Middle School reminded me of my tee...

review 1: Based on the Origin of Peter Pan, ''The Bridge to Never land'' is a very captivating book. Imagine this: You find a piece of paper by mistake leading to the adventure of a life time. The Trilogy ''Peter and the Star catchers'' come into play. The two children, Aidan and Sarah Coo...

review 1: Dave Barry always makes me laugh and this one was no exception. At times I'd have to stop and read a section out loud to whoever happened to be nearby. It's possible they didn't enjoy these little interludes as much as I did but that's ok because I did it for me at least as much ...

review 1: When I first saw this book I didn't want to read it as i thought that Dave Barry was getting kind of old in the sense that he must have used up his ideas. I used to enjoy him but how could he still be funny? Was I wrong! This book had me laughing so hard I cried. It's just a ...

review 1: I thought it was amazing. I was sad because they made Molly, George, James, Prentiss, Thomas, Tubby Ted, and Leonard much older. I was especially sad because Leonard Aster died. I wasn't surprised Molly married George. At the end when Peter was leaving England, I didn't understan...

review 1: It was not at all what I was expecting. "Bridge to Neverland" is kind of a reboot to the Peter & The Starcatchers series but it takes place in current time. The characters in "Bridge" even use the original series as reference points while they're on their adventure. Barry and ...

review 1: Thanks so much to Goodreads for this free book I won from their giveaway.I'm a huge Dave Barry fan. I've read most of his books. Dave Barry turns 40, Dave Barry turns 50, and all the other ones. I would suppose he's in his 60s now and he's still as funny. I read somewhere that he...

review 1: I got this out of the library because I thought my father told me he loved it so much he's already read it twice; after about 20 pages I called to verify because I was feeling nauseated and apparently he was talking about _Big Trouble_. I almost always finish a book once I've st...

review 1: I enjoyed this, coming late to the game as I've read a only few essays by Dave but never a book. This was in our audible library purchased by my spouse and in last minute desperation for something to occupy me on my walk with the dog I downloaded it. Definitely funny and I especi...
