Excellent

I read the book several years ago and thought it was funny. But listening to Arte Johnson read it is even funnier! I almost hurt myself I was laughing so hard.

A Dave Barry Classic.

Anyone thats ever struggled with weight or body issues and those with annoying gym rat friends and anorexic family members will appreciate this book. His parodies of BS lifestyle advertising and fitness trends are brutally executed yet remain completely G-Rated. Art Johnson always makes Dave Barry's Audio books funnier.

Not the best

I love Dave Barry and no one makes me laugh more. But this is one of his less funny.

Laugh out loud funny

I selected this read when I was feeling blue. I haven’t laughed out loud in weeks, and this book had me belly laughing. Dave Barry is a genius!

I lost weight listening

As person on a weight loss journey Thank you for this I Laughed so hard I'm sure I lost weight 😭🤣

funny but out of date

this is humorous and you will get some laughs. but truly, it is dated a bit

Beating a dead horse

The running time for this so-called book was 2 hours, 4 minutes and 22 seconds. If this book had been shortened to 4 minutes and 22 seconds, that would have still been too long to listen to such tripe.

Nostalgic vs dated humor, but usually funny

I’m a big Dave Barry fan and read his weekly column for years. This book is over 30 years old and typical of his formulaic but imaginative wit. Arte reads it well but doesn’t always hit the punch lines in rhythm. I recommend playing it a bit at a time so you don’t get saturated with his style; that’s how I used to savor his columns anyway.

Dated

The audio was poor and the jokes in the book felt very dated making them fall flat.
