This is funny but not quite as funny as Big Trouble.

Not what I was expecting out of Dave Barry. Very offensive language, very little humor & weak plot.

    In True Dave Barry form, the book Tricky Business was LOL funny; great character description and great story. Gave it to my 16 year old son to read - he liked it as well.

    Like all of Dave's fiction, this is tough to put down. It feels similar to 'Big Trouble,' in that there are a couple of 'everymen' surrounded by an insne cast of characters that all converge at the end. Absolute bedlam. 'R' for language.

    I enjoyed this book and the characters. It was a very easy read; I got through it in about a day. The plot was enjoyable, though somewhat predictable. I mostly liked the sarcastic old men.

    I read about a chapter of this, and then returned it to the library. I'm not big on Barry's novel skills however, he writes excellent comedy books.

    It was ok. The plot was not that good, but it's Dave Barry so it's good for a few laughs.

    This was only sort of funny, and felt like a parody of an Elmore Leonard story, I would not recommend it.

    Torture and violence aren't funny.
