Some years ago a friend told me that she thought Dave Barry was funnier during his first marriage, and after reading this I am inclined to agree with a caveat--there were a higher percentage of essays I found funny than in his later books. As usual, I found some were not funny to me at all, plus I'd already read Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs and it was in 2022 so even though those were excellent, I knew too much to laugh out loud so soon after reading that one.

Too much of a migraine to write the sort of humorous reviews I write for Dave Barry books, but suffice it to say that he didn't become so famous for nothing. Also, it was fun to read his account of the first concert he played in the band with Stephen King and Barbara Kingsolver, et al, since I've read something King had to say about it; not sure if I've read anything Kingsolver's said about it or not.
