- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5[October 5, 1996] It's been a long time since I read something this funny. I guess being as familiar with Dave Barry's subject matter as I am, and being a long-time anti-fan of Bill Gates, Dave was bound to tickle my funny bone. My fellow passengers on the plane must have wondered what I had been smoking.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Extreme sarcasm and satire makes this one not so funny. The cyber romance, though was well done. I'm sure it would be better had Dave Barry been the narrator of the audio book.
