Review: Stay Fit and Healthy until You???re Dead by Dave Barry

Stay Fit and Healthy until You’re Dead by Dave Barry

I’ve been wanting to read a Dave Barry book for a long time now, but humor can be a peculiar thing so I decided to start with a short one on a theme everyone can relate to. Barry is funny, no doubt about it, but it wasn’t the “drop to the ground trying to hold your stomach in while you bellow uncontrollably” sort of humor I had frankly expected. What you get instead is a quirky little examination of our nation’s obsession with wanting to stay fit (often without actually working out). There are a lot of very funny lines in this book and if you’re looking for a quick and amusing read about physical fitness, you’ll probably enjoy it.
