Insane City
Dave Barry
(Author)
Description
Seth Weinstein always knew Tina was way, way, way out of his league. Which is why he's still astonished that he's on a plane heading for their wedding in Florida. The Groom Posse has already pulled an airport prank on him--and he's survived! It should be easy going from now on. But Seth has absolutely no idea what he's about to get into. A simple drink or two with the boys sparks a series of events that will pit Seth and his friends against everything and everyone imaginable, from his very powerful, very disapproving soon-to-be father-in-law to the federal government to a love-struck orangutan. Seth's hope for smooth sailing is turning into a trip on the Titanic. And the water is getting deeper by the minute...

About the Author
From 1983 to 2004, Dave Barry wrote a weekly humor column for The Miami Herald, which in 1988 won a Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. He is the author of more than thirty books, including such bestsellers as the nonfiction Live Right and Find Happiness (Although Beer Is Much Faster), You Can Date Boys When You're Forty, and I'll Mature When I'm Dead; the novels Big Trouble, Tricky Business, and Insane City; the very successful YA Peter Pan novels (with Ridley Pearson); and his Christmas story The Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog. Two of his books--Big Trouble and Dave Barry's Guide to Guys--have been turned into movies. For a while, his life was even a television series, Dave's World, but then it was canceled. The series. Not the life. For many years, Dave was also a guitarist with the late, infamous, and strangely unlamented band the Rock Bottom Remainders.
Reviews
Praise for Lunatics by Dave Barry and Alan Zweibel "An outrageously funny, irreverent, over-the-top comic mystery."--Sun Sentinel "Creative, unusual and over the top." --The Associated Press "A novel for those who love one-liners, outrageous characters and loopy plots."--Kirkus Reviews Praise for Dave Barry's I'll Mature When I'm Dead "[Barry] is truly the funniest man living in the three mile 'safe' zone off the shores of America."--Steve Martin "Despite years of medication, Dave Barry is still the funniest damn writer in the whole country. Let's hope he never grows up."--Carl Hiaasen "Fans know what to expect from Dave Barry: joke-packed prose and one-liners... and I'll Mature When I'm Dead continues that tradition."--The Associated Press
