Dave Barry Hits Below the Beltway Audiobook

" Funny, but hard to concentrate on as an audio book. "

" Again, Dave Barry cracks my nerdy self up. This is outrageously funny, especially for the "inside the beltway" crowd. "

" Great send up of DC! "

" The book itself is great, but the reader on the audiobook takes all the fun out of Dave Barry. "

" Dave Barry is hilarious! This book is a great parody on US History and US politics! "

" I listened to this while driving to work, bad idea. There were times I was laughing so hard I almost ran off the road. "

" I thought I might have a different view of politics with a different administration, but I am still just as cynical as Dave is. "

" Dave Barry is amazing. He can make me laugh; he can make me cry. This wasn't his best book, but it hit the funny bone quite regularly. He pokes fun at all sides of the aisle. Watch out for the giant zucchini. (PS, this one is clean, unlike some of his novels.) "

" I like Dave Barry, but found myself not as into this read. The material is getting a bit dated by now, too. "

" The first half was just a rehash of old Barry stuff. The second half was far funnier, very close to the truth of how things run, but I didn't appreciate his Cuba rant. "

" I found Barry's columns about politics funny, but necessarily spectacular...until I hit the section of the book describing Miami politics. I was laughing so hard I was crying. "

" same old, same old for berry...not his best "

" Dave Barry is a funny guy, but this is not one of his better books. "

" Overall, it was a good book, but the section on Florida politics was hysterical! I still can't beleive any of that actually happened. "

" Fun! What else can I say? South Florida is INDEED a crazy place. "

" Although the material is somewhat dated (pre 9/11), I still found the book rather amusing. Barry's take on government is pretty giggle-worthy, though he does take a nearly disc-long sidetrip into everything that makes his homestate of Florida weird. "

" Anything you read by him will always be funny. I don't want to spoil it for you by writing a silly review. Just read him! "

" I've read Barry before and enjoy his commentary on the world. This one worked well. The only thing I regretted is that it was not more current. Guess I will have to check and see if he has written anything politically slanted since! "

" 320.973 Humorous essays on politics..some sections better than others. "

" Silly. Entertaining. "

" He called out "striding" in the first 20 pages. "

" Highly amusing, as usual... started great, and best part was Dave's version of the Constitution. Tangents about Florida near end got tedious - still prefer "Dave Barry Slept Here." "

" The "Constitution" is pee-your-pants funny. Who knew? "

" see comment on other dave barry books... his schtick gets real old real fast, but is "my best friend's mom LOVES him" funny "

" Some parts were funny. "

" Dave Barry is so dang funny! Reece & I read this aloud together, and we often had to take breaks because both of us were laughing so hard that we couldn't speak. Lots of fun! "

" My 2nd Dave Barry..ready for the 3rd! "

" Dave makes me laugh really hard. "

" Dave Barry books are always good for chuckles. This was a compilation of articles he wrote several years ago for the Miami Herald which were then syndicated. There were some really funny ones in this collection! "

" Funniest commentary on the general weirdness of life ever. "

" I said non-fiction, but that might be a lie. Nonetheless, Justin and I liked a lot of the stuff in here. We had fun reading some of them out loud together. "

" This book contains arguably my favorite Barry bit about classical music vs. the song Mammer Jammer. It used to make me laugh hysterically as a kid. A winner. "

" I love all of Dave Barry's books, but steer clear of the political ones. I don't find any political stuff humorous- just boring. This book especially cracked me up! "

" Good for a smirk every page or two. "

" The book is a collection of his columns, so if you are familiar with them, it may be a bit of a repeat for you. "

" Always full of laughter, I really enjoy Dave Barry's brand of humor "

" I remember a time in middle school when Dave Barry was inexplicably hilarious. I find his humor less appealing now, but expect that when I reach my 60s he'll become funny again. "

" Always good for a laugh! Dave Barry is one of my favorite authors - his silly humor and sarcastic wit is entertaining and I'm always up for a quick, funny read. "

" SPAWN RIGHT HERE, YOU MORONS! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Do NOT miss this book!!! "
