I used to read Dave Barry's humor columns in the newspaper back when my parents used to get it delivered daily and I was still living at home. His columns were zany, with some on-the-nose observations of humanity, focusing mostly on the more trite side of life. So when I saw he'd written a book, I decided to read it.

I don't remember much about this one, to be honest, except that it was often scattered, often "whacky" and "zany", with erratic characters who were hard to find believable. Of course, this was before I understood Florida and its inhabitants better than I do today. Nowadays, I'd probably say this was too tame and generous. 🙈

If you are/were a Dave Barry fan, this might be worth a read. Or you could save some time and watch the movie adaptation (which I haven't seen but I seem to recall it getting some fairly good reception back when it was released).
