I'll Mature When I'm Dead: Dave Barry's Amazing Tales of Adulthood

I'll Mature When I'm Dead: Dave Barry's Amazing Tales of Adulthood I'll Mature When I'm Dead: Dave Barry's Amazing Tales of Adulthood by Dave Barry



My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It's been a while since I've read Dave Barry, and I'd forgotten how funny he can be when he's on target. His brand of humor may not be for everybody, but I like it. He skewers the current romanitic Vampire novel craze, the TV show "24", the psychological differences between men and women, fatherhood, and dog ownership, just to touch on a few of the high points. He gets serious when writing about colonoscopies and the wedding of his son (well, mostly serious). I'd recommend this one to anyone looking for a light humorous read.

i read Dave Barry's Greatest Hits last year. it was hilarious. except for one column where he writes about his final meeting with his dying father. it got me all choked up, and made me realize Barry isn't limited to just writing goofy stuff.
