A fun little book; nice to see something Dave Barry has done recently. The "articles" are somewhat longer than Barry's traditional newspaper column format, which allows him to get more in-depth. He does kind of go off the deep end imagining a script for 24 and parody-ing a Twilight novel.

Typical Dave Barry satire on life and daily events, and dealing with a wide variety of topics broken down chapter by chapter. If you would enjoy a few chuckles per chapter and a belly laugh from every few chapters this is a good book. Myteriously he writes two longish chapters as if he were writing a script/novel - a departure from the rest of the book and I found this a bit boring and skipped thru it. He is at his best finding the humor in things that effect all of us at one time or another. This is an easy read.
