Big Trouble

The jokes are hilarious and delivered with the perfect deadpan for the sarcasm, irony, absurdity all for which Barry is so famous. There is a joke every sentence or two making this book is VERY funny. The production is excellent including: perfect narration, changes in volume like talking over a phone, and a huge cast of wackos if you aren't laughing out loud a lot.. you'll, at the very least, be grinning to yourself or smirking a lot. Beware the "too high expectations" trap. This is just a very silly book but, but like Monty Python, it is *quality silliness.* If you aren't snooty you'll love it. Note: The forward warns you this is NOT a book to buy for your kids given the..uh.. adequate quantity of cuss words.

Excellent book, very comical. It wasn't "oh my gawd my sides are splitting" funnybut it was clever, well-developed, kept my interest. Easily recommended.

Always fun to listen to; humorous yet so much of the analogies are true. Dick Hill is perfect as the narrator.

Another voice actor, one you can take listening to longer than three minutes at a time.

Puggy, he's just like a little kids in a homeless man's body.

Everyone sounded like a man, even the women.

I LOVE this book, I just wouldn't recommend Dick Hill to act this one out.

I would recommend anyone who seems inclined to purchase this audiobook in e-book or hard copy. Dave Barry really is a hoot!

I would listen to it again because its a great story.

The randomness and humor.

Here in lies the problem. The movie is better than the book. THAT NEVER HAPPENS! like hardly never. Maybe the devil in a blue dress, but that's all that comes to mind. Seriously watch the movie for this it ties in 3 scenes with the fat man that kind of brings a lot of the story together in a fantastic way. Also the ending is a lot better in the movie!

Big Trouble (no not in little china)

One of the few times the movie (not Big Trouble in Little China with Kurt Russel but Big Trouble with Tim Allen) is better than the book!

Maybe the second half of this book is better -- I don't know, since I didn't get that far. I quit in the middle, around the time that the characters were getting shot, threatened with rape, kicked in the face and other places... This is from Dave Barry???? The guy who wrote all those funny columns in the newspaper?? What happened?? The half of the book I listened to was extremely violent, disturbing and not at all amusing. Too bad you gave up your day job, Dave.

I usually find Dave Berry's articles and short blurbs amusing, only occassionally reading it and not laughing. After half an hour of listening to this and not laughing once, I gave it up. Perhaps it's just not my sense of humor, but it was a disappointment.
