#2: Tricky Business

Tricky Business by Dave Barry

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I loved to read Dave Barry's newspaper columns when I was a kid, he is one of my favorite humorous authors. When I found out that he had written a fiction novel, Big Trouble, I read it and loved it. It was made into a movie, which is also one of my favorites. I looked him up recently to see if he had any other books and found this one. I liked this book as much as Big Trouble. It follows the same sort of pattern with the "main" character being a sort of flawed but likable guy who stumbles into other characters carrying out criminal activities, during which he meets and falls in love with a female character as everyone tries to sort out and remove themselves from various dangerous situations and inadvertently foil the criminal plot. I love these kind of movies too, where multiple story lines are introduced and one by one become entangled with each other. And since it's Dave Barry, as each interaction between story lines occurs, hilarity ensues.
