Very funny.
Dave Barry guides readers on the Boomer Journey to maturity, taking his usual jabs at everything from teenage drivers to government stupidity and othr redundancies.
This is my first book by Dave Berry and it is a hoot. It is definitely a trip down memory lane; the author takes the reader back through the significant parts of the 1950s through 1970s. I didn't know that Dave Barry got a Pulitzer Prize in 1988 for Commentary; he is the only humorist to do so.
This is the kind of book that a reader should keep at the bedside for the times when life seems a bit blah. The humor within the pages will have the reader laughing and smiling in no time. OK, so some of the humor is a bit junior high, but Dave infuses it with some kernels of wisdom and truth about the human condition. A fun read.
