Query: Very disappointing

I'm a big Dave Barry fan - I have a large collection of his other books, which I avoid reading on the train home because I embarrass myself too frequently. As a result, I looked forward to this Barry novel. Frankly, it doesn't cut the mustard at all. It has quirky characters and a quirky plot, but for me it just doesn't get off the ground. I think I chuckled a couple of times and smiled another couple, but I could have read it on the train without causing any disturbance. Dave Barry's true forté is the newspaper column; I think he should stick to that.
