Review:
Let me just admit this right now: I'm a biased Dave Barry reader. We share the same alma mater--Haverford College. Needless to say, the students there are pretty proud of Dave, and whenever he happens to mention his college years in one of his columns, it gets passed around the campus faster than a beer funnel. Unfortunately, there are no mentions of Haverford College in this book.
But for you, the average reader, who doesn't thrill at seeing that little-known college mentioned in print, I think it's safe to say that this book has everything you could ask for in a travel guide (I still think it could have used a "Small Colleges Outside Philadelphia" section, but Barry's editor just didn't agree). Where else could you find a such helpful sections as "How to Use a Bidet" and "Where Nature is Located" ?
I always look forward to the publication of a new Dave Barry book, because it means that I get to spend time at work laughing my head off. If we were all so lucky, I think this world would be a much better place. Well, at least there'd be a lot more hearty guffaws coming from your bosses' office.
--Cassie Nylen, Copy Assistant
Dave describes the dark side of tourism with such comical precision that you'll wonder why you ever bother to leave the safety of your living room. For my money, nobody has ever produced a better snapshot of the Baggage Carousel, "where passengers traditionally gather at the end of a flight to spend several relaxing hours watching the arrival of luggage from some other flight, which comes randomly spurting out of a mysterious troll-infested tunnel that is apparently connected to another airport, possibly in a different dimension."
