Book Reviews of Dave Barry Is Not Taking This Sitting Down
Book Review: Hit and a few misses
Summary: 3 Stars
When Barry is on -he is hysterical and some of the columns in this collection clearly demonstrate that. However there are a few clunkers mixed in. By and large I enjoyed it but found it a hit and miss experience.
Summary of Dave Barry Is Not Taking This Sitting Down
Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist Dave Barry is a pretty amiable guy. But lately, he?s been getting a little worked up. What could make a mild-mannered man of words so hot under the collar? Well, a lot of things?like bad public art, Internet millionaires, SUVs, Regis Philbin . . . and even bigger problems, like? The slower-than-deceased-livestock left-lane drivers who apparently believe that the right lane is sacred and must never come in direct contact with tires
? The parent-misery quotient of last-minute school science fair projects
? Day trading and other careers that never require you to take off your bathrobe
? The plague of the low-flow toilets, which is so bad that even in Miami, where you can buy drugs just by opening your front door and yelling ?Hey! I want some crack,? you can?t even sell your first born to get a normal-flushing toilet
Dave Barry is not taking any of this sitting down. He?s going to stand up for the rights of all Americans against ridiculously named specialty ??chino? coffees and the IRS. Just as soon as he gets the darn toilet flushed.
