Summary: Revenge of the sub-nerds
Review: What other author could sum up Jerry Pournelle in one sentence, make jokes about the Radio Shack TRS-80, tell an enticing tale about a cyber romance, and still manage to work the word "booger" in at least once per chapter? Updike couldn't do it. Mailer certainly couldn't do it. Only Dave Barry can do it.

Summary: a hilarious look at computers
Review: I'm a computer science major and have developed a slight and snobbish resentment to anything the non-professionals have to say about computing technology. I'm used to the precision and conciseness of technical and academic literatures. But still, I've gotta to give Barry some credit. This guy does know his computers, from the first generation Radio Shack computer to the supercool, state-of-art Pentium 100 Windows 95 PC(Hey, the book was written in 1996, that's like the stone age in the computer time). The funky dude even knows a thing or two about basic programming. Besides, this has to be one of the funniest books on the subject of computer. Rock on, Dave! One complaint, too much Gates bashings. I know it was probably a hip thing to do back in the nineties, but it ain't that funny anymore.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This book is wonderfully funny, and, unfortunately, very true-to-life in its descriptions of the computer world.
Rating:
Summary: EXCELLENT BOOK
Review: I think this book is definitely the best book I have ever read. It's so funny and exagerated. It's true, if you're a computer user-even better, an internet user-you will REALLY appreciate this book. It is GREAT!!!

Summary: It was a really funny book
Review: I enjoy his views of the computer age ex:c:\ hello bad command or file name etc..

Summary: the internet was never so funny
Review: Dave Barry has, yet again, made somthing that is usually a serious matter funny. From a detailed look on how he doesn't know exactly what makes a computer work (and then you send your child back for the premium dipping sauce.....) to emoticons that you will never in a million years know how to make (unless of course, you have an italic animal section on your keyboard) Dave Barry makes you wish you had the knowledge to use the Internet (but the book is also for people under the age where you can only remember when technolegy was limited to the color telivison) all in all, a great book.

Summary: THE best Barry book yet!
Review: First of all, this entire book was hilarious from start to finish. Second, I don't know why everyone thinks the story at the end is stupid. Anyone who has ever been on a chat room will find it funny. This is definatly his best book, especialy the part on word processing.

Summary: Funny, but definitely not his best work
Review: Dave Barry in Cyberspace tackles one of the most intimidating subjects for laypersons (like himself) -- getting to grips with the inexplicable world of technology. Unfortunately, many of his rantings, while in typical Dave Barry style, lack the biting spark that separates Barry from the countless other humorists that clutter the shelves. Another aspect of this book which is very uncharacteristic of Barry is the strange novella which reads more like an electronic version of Bridges of Madison County than good ol' Dave. It's well-written and quietly disturbing, but seems out of place within the pages of the rest of the book. Buy it if you're a Dave Barry junkie. You'll laugh for sure, but not as much as with his other works.

Summary: This is Dave Barry's best book . . . . . ever.
Review: I have read several Dave Barry books, but Dave Barry in CYBERSPACE is the best. It gives real-life situations with frustrating computer problems, and exagerates them so much that it's hilarious. He also showed how idiotic (pardon my french) the people who you call to get help with your computer are. He did not exagerate with that but it was still funny. I would give this book six stars if it was possible.

Summary: lol!
Review: I laughed out loud so often while reading this book. The serious attempt at romance writing at the end was kind of strange, but I still enjoyed it. Way to go, Dave!
