Lunatics

A Novel

De: Dave Barry, Alan Zweibel

Narrado por: Dave Barry, Mark Thompson, Sean Kenin, Orlagh Cassidy

One of them is a best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist. The other is a winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor. Together, they form the League of Comic Justice, battling evildoers in the name of... Okay, we made that line up. What they do form is a writing team of pure comic genius, and they will have you laughing like idiots.

Philip Horkman is a happy man - the owner of a pet store called The Wine Shop, and on Sundays a referee for kids' soccer. Jeffrey Peckerman is the sole sane person in a world filled with goddamned jerks and morons, and he's having a really bad day. The two of them are about to collide in a swiftly escalating series of events that will send them running for their lives, pursued by the police, soldiers, terrorists, subversives, bears, and a man dressed as Chuck E. Cheese.

Where that all takes them you can't begin to guess, but the literary journey there is a masterpiece of inspiration and mayhem. But what else would you expect from the League of Comic Justice?

Such an Entertaining Read

I spent a very enjoyable 7 hours listening to this novel. The performance was outstanding, and the story, while a bit profane at times, and quite the farce was so entertaining. It even got a bit prophetic toward the end... Highly recommend for a time when you just want to be amused and entertained. Caution: Listening with headsets at work causes out loud laughter resulting in strange looks from co-workers.

Too funny for words

What did you like best about this story?

The hilarity of the opposite personalities and the believability of the impossible scenarios they get into make this a laugh-out-loud story.

Which scene was your favorite?

On the bridge. . . No, wait, at the dance recital. . . Or maybe the cruise ship. Too many to choose just one.

Any additional comments?

The narration by the authors really makes the book. Loved it.

mentioning Trump in your book did not age well

This was one of my favorite books. I recently listened to it again and I have to say mentioning Donald Trump in your book just did not age well. Your fictional Donald Trump is far too knowledgeable about politics compared to the real Donald Trump. I had to stop listening at that point.

LOL Funny

I've been a fan of Dave Barry for years, and he didn't let me down with this very funny book. Laughed so hard I got tears in my eyes a few times. If you're sensitive to a little profanity, you may not enjoy it so much. If you're not, you will enjoy it very much indeed. Loved the story and the performance totally.

Please make it into a movie.

Bought the book and then bought the audible version. It's even funnier when the writers are the narrators.It would make a hilarious movie.
