Romp submitted by tcramer318 on July 12, 2023, 6:57am Dave Barry always knows how to take a couple of disparate story lines and escalate it to the wildest third act I ever see. While this wasn't my favorite of his novels (that would be Insane City), this one was still a romp and I had a good time reading it.
