Praise for Big Trouble: 'The funniest book I've read in fifty years' ELMORE LEONARD 'I laughed so hard I fell out of a chair . . . the funniest damn thing I've read in almost forty years' STEPHEN KING 'Dave Barry remains one of the funniest writers alive. Big Trouble is outrageously warped, cheerfully depraved - and harrowingly close to true life' CARL HIAASEN 'a charming, witty and insightful storyteller . . . there is a comforting element of Kurt Vonnegut-like cosmic integrity to Barry's work' KINKY FRIEDMAN . . . A spectacular and hilarious debut from a journalist better known for his humorous columns. . . This is crime fiction that brings a wide, depraved smile to the lips. Wonderful entertainment. The Guardian [a] crazy romp around the streets of Miami . . . Sit back and enjoy yourself. Sunday Telegraph . . . a fast-paced, absurd adventure, sharply written and blackly comic. Sunday Mirror This book puts the fun in dysfunctional. . . The whole thing is carried off brilliantly. . . His observational humour is riotously funny. . . But you should read it on a plane, or train or bus for that matter, only if you're not easily given to embarrassment, because it will make you laugh out loud. It should carry a government health warning. The Sunday Tribune 'Silly, but very, very funny.' Time Out
