A review by alisarae
Swamp Story by Dave Barry
5.0
This book was everything I hoped it would be: Florida man meets Rat Race in a riproaring hunt for treasure in the Everglades.
This is totally not the sort of book I typically read (I like my fiction to be brooding and by a woman) but I had such a good time listening to the audio of this. Well written, great timing, hilarious characters and structured for maximum slapstick humor. You can tell the author had a fun time writing it. So if you need a palate cleanser from the deluge of novels that have been MFA'd to death, I'd recommend this one.
