various columns collected from Miami Herald
  ritaer | Aug 24, 2021 |
This is an awesome collection of Dave Barry's articles from the Miami Herald. He begins his collection with a great laugh at American politics especially the Presidential Election of 2000. He then moves on to articles he wrote about life and his family. I particularly enjoyed the articles about the band he plays in with other authors including Amy Tan and Stephen King. (Poor Amy Tan's husband during Leader of the Pack") He finishes the collection off on a serious tone. He wrote two articles about September 11th that are very heartfelt. A touching way to end this collection of humorous articles. I listened to the audio version of this book. The narrator read the collection so perfectly, I thought it was narrated by Dave Barry himself. The pauses for humor were at just the right time. It turns out that the narrator was Dick Hill. Well chosen, publishing company, well chosen." ( )

A collection of columns Dave Barry wrote for the Miami Herald in the early 2000s.
The first section regards the Democratic and Republican National Conventions for the election between Gore & Bush. Interesting to consider what might have been had that gone the other way. A little dated, of course, but still funny, particularly if you were informed on politics at that time.
Also amusing were a series about North Dakota, specifically Grand Forks. Barry actually ended up visiting after a column making fun of the area produced sincere invitations. Really fun to read as I have a connection to the area.
Closes with two regarding Sept 11. Not funny at all, but not supposed to be. Very thought provoking, though.
A good collection. ( )

Sounds like a good columnist to read regularly. Pretty funny in some subtle and not so subtle ways. ( )
