( ) I'd heard of Dave since he'd written 30 books, received a Pulitzer for a commentary column in the Miami Herald and two of his novels were adapted to screen though this was the first time I'd read his work. And as I made my way through this over the top story, I couldn't help but think of the movie "Rat Race" which was equally zany! We meet Seth, an underachieving yet attractive guy who's about to marry Tina, the hot daughter of a billionaire. As Seth joins a Groom Posse at the airport lead by Marty, a wannabe attorney and two morons, we soon discover that trouble lies ahead once they land in Miami. Barry crafts a story filled with twists that begin once the groom party begins. Parallel to the wedding plot is the illegal arrival on a Miami beach of a Haitian family that include Laurette and two children. Drunk and disoriented Seth happens upon them and decides to harbor them in his Ritz Carlton room paid for my Tina's father. Meanwhile drunken debauchery leads to more trouble when Seth is separated from the posse and finds himself with Cyndi a hot girl he'd met at one of the bars. The posse manages to loose his luggage where the the wedding ring is stored. When he discovers it was dropped off outside an orangutan cage and a distant zoo, the fun begins! So say the plot thickens is an understatement due to pot laced brownies swallowed by billionaires, hilarious hijinks, chase scenes with the orangutan, efforts to dispose of the Haitians, pirate ships, oddball wedding advisors and more. If I included every scene, it would spoil the experience for the reader no less make this review too long. This is the kind of book that has you laugh out loud and would translate to screen with ease. Since humor is a favorite genre, this has been added to my Top Ten Best Humor stories and I plan to read a couple of his others. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
