Description

In his career, Dave Barry has done just about everything - written best-selling nonfiction, won a Pulitzer Prize, seen his life turned into a television series. And now, at last, he has joined the long list of literary figures, from Jane Austen to Tolstoy, who have made the transition from humor columnist to novelist - and done it with a style and inventiveness that establishes that, yes, he is very good at that, too.

In the city of Coconut Grove, Florida, these things happen: A struggling adman named Eliot Arnold drives home from a meeting with the Client From Hell. His teenage son, Matt, fills his Squirtmaster 9000 for his turn at a high school game called Killer. Matt's intended victim, Jenny Herk, sits down in front of the TV with her mom for what she hopes will be a peaceful evening - for once. Jenny's alcoholic and secretly embezzling stepfather, Arthur, emerges from the maid's room, angry at being rebuffed - again. Henry and Leonard, two hit men from New Jersey, pull up to the Herks' house for a real game of Killer - Arthur's embezzlement apparently not having been quite so secret to his employers after all. And a homeless man named Puggy settles down for the night in a treehouse just inside the Herks' yard.

In a few minutes, a chain of events that will change the lives of each and every one of them will begin, and will leave some of them wiser, some of them deader, and some of them definitely looking for a new line of work.

With a wicked wit, razor-sharp observations, rich characters, and a plot with more twists than the Inland Waterway, Dave Barry makes his debut a complete and utter triumph.

Rent the movie, it’s better then the book.

1999 doesn’t translate well in 2020, besides foreshadowing the ignorance that is cause of american decline. Apart from forcing the listener to endure the author’s interest in pedophile fantasy for the sake of seemingly worthless character development, the book pales in comparison to the movie. I say this as had the author written to achieve a level of literary acumen, rather then to pad the manuscript with repetitive sophomoric and predictable banal jokes, the finished product would have been equal to the movie’s script. I’m going to return this for another credit.

Great story!

This book was very well written and narrated. The story wraps up very nicely too. If you like Carl Hiaasen then this book is for you.
