Book Reviews of Dave Barry's History of the Millennium (So Far)
Book Review: Dave Barry, not quite at his best
Summary: 4 Stars
After the hilarious and profound 'Dave Barry Hits Below the Beltline', I expected the best. And the book is funny, but it falls below the mark for Barry. A lot of the humor seems recycled, and I got the feeling that Barry's heart wasn't really in it. If you own everything else he's written (I do), you might want to add this to your collection. If you're new to Dave Barry, try the above title, or 'Dave Barry Turns 40'.
Summary of Dave Barry's History of the Millennium (So Far)
A brilliantly funny look at the tumultuous recent past from the Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist.Remember when everything was going to go to hell when Y2K struck?
That didn't happen. Right?
But what did happen? To provide a little perspective on a really messed-up millennium (so far), the one and only Dave Barry slips into his historian's robe (it's plush terrycloth) and revisits the defining moments in our country's recent history-from the Bush years to.jeez, it's still the Bush years! As an added bonus, Barry quickly-we're busy here-tosses in the complete history of the last millennium, covering crucial turning points such as the invention of the pizza by Leonardo da Vinci and the computer by Charles Babbage (who died in 1871 still waiting to talk to tech support).
Fellow Americans, the time has come to bone up with Barry as he puts the hysterical in history.
