5.0 out of 5 stars The gem in this book is the "novelette" about meeting online, 13 Jan 1998
By A Customer
This book is really funny for techie types, and Shadoe Stevens does an unbelievably great job of reading it on the tapes, but the key thing is the long story in the middle about a non-techie housewife meeting someone online ... she created a chat room called "knows how to spell", which kept the riff raff out. It's a must for anyone, not just computer types. It's so funny that I can't believe they haven't made it into a movie and won all the academy awards.

5.0 out of 5 stars The funniest book I've ever read! 9.5!, 23 Jul 1997
By A Customer
Mr. Barry's book is, undoubtedly, the funniest book I have ever read. It made me laugh at the ludicrousy of computers, the Internet, and life. I laughed through the entire book and nearly passed out at times from lack of oxygen.

The ONLY reason why I would not give this book the 10 it really deserves is because I thought the "adult stuff" was really too much. I would not let anyone read this who was under twelve or thirteen years of age. I think that at least SOME of it could have been taken out and the book would have been just as enjoyable.

This is one of those rare books that while reading it, the person sitting next to me had to turn to me and say, in this really concerned voice, "Are you okay?"

5.0 out of 5 stars My two cents, 17 Dec 1997
By A Customer
Well, everybody and his dog has already reviewed Dave Barry in Cyberspace, but I had to throw my two cents in: Thanks, Dave, for coining the term "WGU" (Whirring Grinding Unit). Now everybody I know who uses a computer uses that term. Congratulations on making the already over-wordy English language one word wordier - it's a word we desperately needed.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's time to tape up your glasses and read this book!
You don't *need* a pocket protector to enjoy this book, but it couldn't hurt. Let down your guard and, just for a few minutes, revel in your geek-hood with Dave Barry. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reading of a funny book
This unabridged reading is carried off very well by Shadoe Stevens. He has a voice that is pleasant to listen to for 6 hours, and an understanding of Dave Barry's sense of humor... Read more
