This is my first book by Dave Berry and it is a hoot. It is definitely a trip down memory lane; the author takes the reader back through the significant parts of the 1950s through 1970s. I didn't know that Dave Barry got a Pulitzer Prize in 1988 for Commentary; he is the only humorist to do so.
This is the kind of book that a reader should keep at the bedside for the times when life seems a bit blah. The humor within the pages will have the reader laughing and smiling in no time. OK, so some of the humor is a bit junior high, but Dave infuses it with some kernels of wisdom and truth about the human condition. A fun read.
