Summary: The Truth Through Dave's Eyes
Review: I remember picking up this book on a whim, never expecting to be as taken with it as I ended up being.Dave Barry is an original writer, and his takes on everything from consumerism to war are funny, and true! Everything that spews out of that man's pen ends up becoming a mental statement-- "Hey, I've thought that too!" If anything, this book gets kudos for Dave's angst from being a lonely lefty peon in the world of right-handers ("Left-handers should not even be allowed to purchase a chainsaw"). As a fellow lefty, I about died laughing about Dave's lumberjack attempt, and his thinly-veiled "horror" about dying seven years earlier than the average right-hander. In closing, this book is worth the purchase, and I guarantee it won't collect cobwebs on the shelf after reading it for the first (or second or third) time.

Summary: Dave Barry at his best.
Review: If you're already familiar with Dave Barry, all I need to say is that this book is unquestionably one of his best, along with "Dave Barry Talks Back", "Dave Barry Turns 40", and "Dave Barry's Only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need". If you aren't familiar with his work, all I can say is that he's one of the funniest writers I've ever encountered, and as long as you don't object to irreverence (read 'intentionally immature for effect') you will probably love his writing, too. Ironically, this book contains my all-time favorite Dave Barry column, which happens also to be one of two of his columns I've ever read that are not humorous, but are decidedly serious. This column is "Uneasy Rider", the column about his twelve-year-old son having a semiserious bicycle accident; it is an immensely powerful description of what it feels like to be a parent in that situation. The book also contains the two or three columns that were the genesis of his later book, "Dave Barry's Book Of Bad Songs". If you have read that book, you'll have seen these columns, but if you haven't, you're in for a treat. (He runs a reader survey, and does two columns on the results, asking "what is the worst rock/pop song ever written?") Marvellous book; I can't recommend it any higher.

Summary: Humor and Imagery
Review: In all of Dave Barry's writings and shows, he uses humor and imagery. He does very well with presenting humor and imagery in his book. I would highly recommend this book to people who like humorous books. He relates to the way people think about life.- E. Barney, BDH

Summary: If you haven't read Dave Barry then ....
Review: this is the place to start. The book is a collection of his Miami Herald columns. Barry's hyperbolic style is on the money as he always gives razor sharp insight into ridiculous human behavior. You can't help but laugh at many of the stories while nodding your head in agreement.If you have read Dave Barry, this book is one of his best works. A must read for Barry and non-Barry fans alike.
