INSANE CITY

Once again, Dave Barry proves sometimes the best man for the job can be found in the mirror. As he has done with several books, newspaper columnist Barry narrates INSANE CITY with the skill of a seasoned performer. He's not big on accents or sound effects, but his faithful reading serves his novel well. This forces the listener to concentrate on the words themselves. The book is about the wedding of a spoiled socialite to Sean, the most principled man in the world, who insists on rescuing a homeless Haitian family on his wedding day. Assisted by his goofy friends and hangers-on, including an orangutan that just muddies the plot, the hapless bridegroom battles an insane city to give his fiancée her storybook wedding.
