Juvenile, potty-humour level 'jokes' and the normalization of rape culture. I fail to see how people find this book funny or entertaining. I will be avoiding this author in the future.
This book is SO hilarious, I was listening in my car & didn't want to get out when I reached my destination not wanting to have to wait to resume listening! I LAUGHED OUT LOUD throughout! COMPLETELY enjoyable!

A wedding is a big event, and planning one can be a real headache. But if your wedding's in Miami, the Insane City, you'd better pack some extra-strength aspirin. Dave Barry's novel is a hilarious race against time as our protagonist…

I so wanted to like this because it's Dave Barry! But the plot and characters were so pedestrian and unlikeable. I tried a few chapters and gave up. Sigh.

Funny story as expected from Dave Berry. Found myself giggling as I read certain parts. He has a way of making ordinary things become silly and he hits the nail on the head.

I don't often read funny books. I'm more the serious history type. However, I needed a break and this one was a great pick. Funny books usually fizzle out and are very NOT funny after about the first third. This one was hysterical all the…

this is a nice, quick, mind-numbing read in the same vein as "the hangover" films reduce the brain to a sludge factory over a 2 hour time frame. the well-played out "bachelor party gone wrong where stereotypical ex-frat boy runs rampant…

At this point, winter’s hung on long enough that most of us are past yeti jokes and fort building and are well into the kind of resigned stalwart ennui that fuels so much prairie CanLit. What better way to get away from the maddening drear…
After a drawn out beginning this novel goes on a good run of humor to its hectic conclusion. Mr. Barry ends his novel too quickly and leaves his fans confused and a bit let down. Nevertheless, 7 of 10 stars
