Not his best but not his worst. A lot of the references are very pop culture of the time and as such are heavily dated.

This Dave Barry book, titled (PUT SPECIFIC TITLE HERE) was quite funny. I very much enjoyed the booger joke on page 37. Numerous parts, including the (TRY VERY HARD TO REMEMBER ONE SPECIFIC PART) part, were especially funny! I laughed aloud! Haha!
At the end of the book I was left with the sense that, although I'd just been entertained for an hour and a half, that I'd basically been doing the literary equivalent of shoving peeps up my nose. Peeps the candy, not the slang word for acquaintances.
Dave Barry is almost as funny here as he was in Dave Barry Turns 40, which means quite a riot! Haha!
You're right, I haven't read this one since I was about 15. How did you know?

I'm pretty sure I've read every Dave Barry book out there, but this ranks up there as one of my favorites. It's a collection of his columns, as many of his books are. I think the reason I found this one better than some of the others is that it was written around the time I was waking up to politics and reading news on a regular basis and all-in-all getting a much clearer sense of why what he wrote about was funny. I started getting all the social commentary jokes for the first time.
Of course, poo jokes are timeless.

It was decent, some parts were really funny, but it appeared to be just a compilation of his news columns, and there was some redundancy, etc.

I finished this book in one go, that's how good Dave Barry's commentary is. The book is basically a collection of some of his articles over the years, and he even talks about the trouble he had with naming the book. I think he should release a book names Another Damn Dave Barry Book. Anyway, I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a light read that will make them happier after finishing.

Dave Barry is so dang funny! Reece & I read this aloud together, and we often had to take breaks because both of us were laughing so hard that we couldn't speak. Lots of fun!

Laugh out funny in places. Stolen articles from his newspaper article in the Miami Herald thrown into a book format but it still was a fun read before sleep. A good book to finish on April Fool's Day.
