Dave Barry Does Hiaasen

Date of Review:  Mar 25, 2000
Review: Dave Barry is one of the funniest writers this country has produced. Whether it's his weekly syndicated column, special features or his humor books, Barry packs more laughs into a paragraph than most of his contemporaries could manage in a whole...

big trouble gets big laughs

Date of Review:  Mar 6, 2002
The Bottom Line: Definitely pick up and read Big Trouble. You'll keep reading because of the humor and the plot
Review: As part of the internet generation, I am used to writing lol (for those not in the internet generation that is short for laugh out loud) quite often when in fact i barely broke a smile. Well, while reading Dave Barry's Big Trouble lol was not simply...

Elmore Leonard Lite!

Date of Review:  Jan 30, 2000
Review: For many years Dave Barry was just the funny sports writer who used to come on David Letterman and be all nervous. At least, to me that's who he was. Then one day somebody loaned me Dave Barry's Book of Being a Guy. (I think that's what it was...

Big Trouble: Big Laughs

Date of Review:  Nov 11, 2004
Review: Barry brings his characters and the setting to life in mere paragraphs, better than most writers can do in chapters. They all come together in a wacky and all too real way. No one can come away from this book without a laugh or a sense of having...

Dave Barry's Big Trouble is a big surprise.

Date of Review:  Jul 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: This should defenitley be a fun read for the late teenage and adult group. Pick it up if you fall into that category, just don't expect everything to be humorous.
Review: I ordered Big Trouble from Amazon.com because I had recently become addicted to Dave Barry--plus, the upcoming movie piqued my interest. Today, at around 1:00 PM, I got it from UPS. An hour ago, at around 10:45 PM, I had gone through all 317 pages...

Big Trouble Rawks

Date of Review:  Jan 7, 2000
Review: After having read the book in one sitting i'll have to say a couple of things.

As one of the other members posted, the book had this eerie feeling that it was based on Dave Barry's columns. The reality as i see it, is that Dave Barry loves...

Barry easily lives up to Hiaasen's standards

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2000
Review: Well, for those of you who may have doubted Dave Barry's ability to write a good novel, you're in for a big surprise, because "Big Trouble" is great.

I know, because I just read it last night. In 2 hours. I simply couldn't put it down. It...

dave barry's columns write a book

Date of Review:  Oct 16, 1999
Review: One thing I promise not to do in this review: to discuss any plot.

I think Dave Barry probably had this same conversation with his editors when they sat down to discuss this book. I met Mr. Barry in south florida while he was speaking at...

Motley Ship of Fools

Date of Review:  Oct 27, 1999
Review: An earlier epinion focused on the fact that this first novel by Dave Barry was more or less a collection of some of his essays combined into a single narrative. I had never read any of Barry's previous essays nor seen him speak or perform, prior to...

Big Trouble: For Once, Dave Barry Admits He IS Making This Up.

Date of Review:  Mar 7, 2001
The Bottom Line: It's a $6 book...you really can't go wrong with picking it up. Pretty entertaining, although a bit confusing.
Review: I've been a big fan of Dave Barry's since I borrowed one of his book from a friend while in High School. It was the first time I'd ever read anything that just made me burst out laughing. So I went on to read all the rest of his stuff I could find...
