Nobody makes me laugh like Dave Barry. I read most of this book either on the train or at a coffee shop, and I got a lot of strange looks and two inquiries as to what could possibly be so funny. (Answer: Everything this man writes, ever.) The fake script for 24 and the fake chapter of Twilight offer hilarious breaks from his usual topics (why men and women do not understand each other, why dogs are awesome and/or stupid, why Miami is weird).

I do understand why people have beef with his assorted essays (and entire books) on relationships between dudes and ladies - he pretty much just goes over the same old stereotypes about how women have emotions and men like sitting on the couch - but here, those bits come out sounding, if not fresh, still pretty funny, which is all I'm really looking for from Dave Barry.
