Dave Barry Does Japan by Dave Barry 3 stars

[Rachel N.]

Dave Barry and his family took a three week trip to Japan in 1992 and Barry recounts the trip. Parts of the book are very dated and there is definitely a lot of stereotypes about Japanese culture. There were some parts I found humorous, especially when Barry is poking fun at himself. The best written chapter was on Hiroshima which wasn't funny at all. Not a book I would normally pick up but it works for the satire part of a reading challenge I'm doing.
