I agree what the plot Not as funny as It could be but the characters were hilarious and the way he writed is funny too. I love the way he can give written word a tone as sarcastic as if theywere Said by Bart Simpson. Some of the jokes about Jerry Springer and Monica Lewinsky may prove to make the book dated in the future but all of the other jokes thatwere obvious or Could Easily be missed (a character curses and Barry says something like "They Took a moment to think about this idea "with the 'idea' being the swear word.) Though it does not work perfectly Barry fans will love this book and See That He Can Write A Story That is somewhat serious and funny.
