I have been a fan of Dave Barry for many years and an avid reader of his newspaper column. This is the first of his books that I have read and I am not kidding, I laughed out loud all of the way through the book. If you are not offended by the language you will love it too....especially the old geezers in the retirement home.

A quick, entertaining, and funny read. Dave Barry has Elmore Leonard's skill at plotting and adds Barry's comedic look at the world and it's human inhabitants.

Great "beach" or "vacation" read.

Better even than his initial effort, Big Trouble.

Read both.

This is just a riotously funny book, as you'd expect from my all-time favorite humor writer.

A lighthearted comedy about murder, drugs, and gambling. Mature themes - not for children.
