Title: Great start, awful finish
Product review: As a recent transplant to Guam and a big fan of Dave Barry, I excitedly snatched up this book. For the first several chapters, I was reading hilarious anecdotes to my husband and comparing our Pacific island to Tarawa. However, by the halfway point the humor had run dry and the few anecdotes either read as repeats or severely mixed up in time. I expected amusement at the author's switch from novel to humorous-travel writer, but instead felt like he wrote this book in a desperate attempt for cash. The gimicky title wasn't even funny by the end. After seeing a synopsis and reviews of his other 2 books, I have no intent to try them.
