Query: the worst book i have ever read

Dave Barry was never meant to do anything other than observe a static situation and try to think of how best to make it sound funny. He's good at that. But he couldn't develop a character if his life depended on it. In this book nuclear weapons go off, people are kidnapped, they fall in love, and yet when you're finished reading it it's as if nothing happened at all. None of the characters change, nothing interesting happens, it's a bunch of vectors pointing in straight lines going to their logical destinations with no surprises, nothing clever, and a deeply insipid delivery all along the way. If you're thinking of reading this, don't. I implore you, get a GOOD book, or at least a better one, which means ANY book, other than this one.
