Summary: its really that good!
Review: After finding this book tucked behind my desk last weekend (I know, what a cruel thing to do. =]), I picked it up and remembered the fun time I had reading it a while back. Even though I had read this book before over and over again, it still made me laugh out loud in the most awkward of places. It is not only the best collection of Dave Barry's best columns, but one of my favorite Barry books. Even if you've memorized every Barry column in existence, you will still enjoy the 1 panel cartoons drawn specifically for each column and the always humerous comments Barry makes about each one. New Barry readers will become addicted to his great humor. And veteran Barry readers will once again remember to not drink milk while reading this novel.

Summary: My First Dave Barry Book
Review: After I read this book, I fell madly in love with Dave. That's when I started my trek to meet Dave. But when I got to Florida, I felt unworthy, so I just followed him everywhere he went for a month without letting him know. When he went to work, I laid myself under his car and fondled his fuel pipe all day. Because of the excitement this stirred in me, I routinely wet my pants. I would strongy suggest having tissues handy while reading this book, to wipe away the tears of laughter.

Summary: Light and funny
Review: Being a huge Dave Barry fan, I had to read this book, and I was not disappointed. The book is a collection of columns he wrote, mostly from the early 1990's; presumably, these are his funniest and the ones that got the most responses from readers. And you'd be surprised the kind of responses he gets from readers, some of whom can't seem to grasp that Dave's columns are supposed to be funny. I, unlike those readers, had no trouble finding the humor in this book. I've probably read it 100 times, and parts of it still crack me up. He writes mostly about unusual news stories sent in by "alert readers" regarding exploding toilets and other such oddities. Its format-short essays of about 2 or 3 pages each-makes it ideal for people with short attention spans, but others will enjoy it too. If you've never read a Dave Barry book, you need to start, and I'm guessing this one will help get you hooked.

Summary: Barry On Top
Review: Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up is a collection of columns from Dave Barry's Pulitzer Prize winning weekly column. Mr. Barry always has a humorous slant on everything from marriage, to raising kids to watching TV. He also can write about the bizarre as evident by the story that tells of the lawn mower parade in Indiana that is a scream. You will laugh out loud about the Beano story, but the creme-de-la-creme is the story about his boat and his trip to Bimini on it.

Summary: yeap, borring as hell I am not making this up also.
Review: I learn from my experience if only a handful of people rated 5 stars don't believe it. I only read 15% of this book, and it is really really borring. I didn't laugh one bit. This book say if I am not laughing than I don't have humor. That's a lame excuse for a boring book. If this is really 5 stars, I can write a 10 stars book for people to laugh at intelligent and witty jokes, not stupid unlaughable joke like this book. But, Amazon is way cool, 5 stars bookstore. I have bought quite a few books (> 50) at Amazon, and I will continue to buy it. Recommend: I did laugh with for better or for worst by Lynn Johnston. Clean and witty whole some family jokes. Judy Carter is also very funny. These two ladies are way cool !
