Very funny stuff! And a complex, crazy completely entertaining story of money laundering, drug dealing, murder, and sex - with a cast of characters who chill you to the bone and/or have you cheering for them all the way...all on the high seas in Florida.

I haven't read this all the way through, but this guy... I mean, come on...is one of the funniest writers in American history. From what I've read, it sounds similar to a Hiassen novel. Wackier, of course.

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.

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.
