He is NOT making this up...

Date of Review:  May 15, 2000
Review: Sometimes it seems like Japanese culture couldn't be more removed from Dave Barry's world of experiences, but that is what makes this book so funny...

I've been a fan of Dave Barry's for as long as I can remember, and this book is probably...

This book will crack you up!

Date of Review:  Aug 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: It's very funny!
Review: I'm not going to write a long, thoughtful review for two reasons:

1) I've written some long, thoughtful reviews and made about 28 cents each (and I've figured out that I'm never going to become an expert reviewer no matter how hard I try)...

"Yo, Dave Barry, Loudly Make It Fly"!

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2000
Review: When a book about Japan, comes out, it can be usually put in one of two categories: either as a "travelogue" or in the nihonjinron section. (Nihonjinron being the name given to the kinds of books or articles which focus deeply on an aspect of...

Barry funny, for the most part.

Date of Review:  May 10, 2002
The Bottom Line: Read the review, please.
Review: This is my first Dave Barry work that I've read, and I have to admit that it has left me with mixed emotions.

In the beginning, I enjoyed it immensely, and found much of humour and some interesting observations, although there were times...

Hilarious!

Date of Review:  May 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: This book is funny and educational at the same time. I recommend it highly.
Review: I believe this to be one of the funniest books Dave Barry has ever written. I have a paperback version of it, but I've read it so many times, it's starting to fall apart, and I'm thinking it might be time to replace it with a more permanent...

Contains some actual facts!

Date of Review:  Feb 11, 2000
Review: I'm a longtime fan of Dave Barry's syndicated humor column(I'm a certified "alert reader"), and his books are even better because they're jam-packed with hilarity. His travel-related books are probably my favorites, and "Dave Barry Does Japan" is no...

Pretty Insightful Book

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2000
Review: As with any Dave Barry book, it can be rather difficult to glean any relevant information from his writings. Dave Barry's foray into Japanese culture and society seemed like a really good, really funny travel guide. I have no idea how on target his...
