    I bought this book to get rid of a cough. I am not making this up.
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2017*

I bought this book to get rid of a cough. That is not a typo.I was vacationing in Florida and also had a cough that was going on and on forever. I needed a good book to read on the beach, so I went to a bookstore. Unfortunately, I did not notice the "Florida" section until I was leaving the store, having already purchased Melanie Benjamin's 

  
The Swans of Fifth Avenue: A Novel









  
  
    
   (which I read and highly recommend BTW). Dave Barry books took up the largest portion of the Florida section, with Key Lime Cookbooks coming in second, but "Best. State. Ever." was face out and bright yellow, so I noticed it. It looked funny, but since I'd already made my purchase, I left.Later that evening when another coughing spell was due, I thought about the Barry book I'd seen because it occurred to me that I might be able to get rid of my stupid cough by way of a good, lung-clearing laugh session, so I bought the Kindle version right then and there. Although I am not a medical professional, I can tell you that reading this book worked better than any of the OTC remedies I had been using. The laughter provoked an epic cough session that subsequently allowed me to sleep through the night with no coughing whatsoever.  And it worked again the next night. Again, I am not a medical professional; I can only tell you what my experience was.There have been parts of a couple of the chapters that did not have the desired effect, and other parts had me laughing so hard that I could barely see the words for the tears in my eyes (I'm keeping that in mind in case my eyes ever need to be flushed out), but for the most part, this book proved that laughter may indeed be the best medicine.I am not making any of this up.

    Lots of laughs and proof that truth is stranger and funnier than fiction
  

*by L***C on Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2016*

Barry has always been a writer who can make the reader laugh out loud regardless of the subject but when the subject is Florida -- well, he's a master.  I lived in Florida and he absolutely nails the way that people from elsewhere react to the crazy stuff that happens in Florida by saying "what is wrong with people down there? or how can you live there?"  Trust me when I say that the same thought crosses the minds of most people particularly when a new arrival first becomes a resident, but after awhile the new Floridian just accepts the craziness as part of the deal made for living in south Florida with its mild climate and basically 360 plus days of nice weather -- barring an occasional hellish hurricane.  The new residents even adapt to the mostly daily rainstorms and living in the lightening strike capital of the US.  Dave's book is funny, witty, clever, and will make you laugh out loud in addition to making you smile when not laughing out loud.  Barry isn't "mean" about Florida, Floridians, or people who move in and become Floridians, he's just factual plus when he takes on specific subjects like Weeki Wachee's mermaid show, Gatorland, The Villages, Key West, his visit to a Miami firing range -- he's funny but he also gives an accurate portrait of what they are, represent,and what to expect and he's also a quite fond of it all which means he can laugh at and with his subjects at the same time the details about all of them may make you laugh and cringe simultaneously.It's a funny book and a fast read.  Give your brain a break and take this trip with Dave Barry as your guide.  Think of it as mind candy.

    The funniest man in America talks Florida!
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2016*

Dave Barry has been making me laugh for decades! This is his most recent books of laughs!Barry gives us the history of his state (Florida) hint: the people are crazy! Barry holds forth on such topics as:• A Brief History of Florida—letting the reader know just when and where things began to go wrong for the State and how to handle Florida…• The Skunk Ape—Florida’s odoriferous version of everyone’s favorite cryptid, Bigfoot, is loose in the Swamps of Florida—or is it?• Weeki Watcee and Spongeworld—two attractions off the beaten path, an underwater mermaid theater and Spongebob’s natural cousins!• Cassadaga—the Spirits are still talking—or not as the case may be—in a ghost town (Har!) dedicated to the Spiritualism movement…• The Villages—largest retirement community anywhere gets down and boogies!• Gatorland—it’s Florida, home of the Everglades and half a million alligators and crocodiles…• Lock and Load Miami—Florida has the “Stand your ground” Law and this is the place you go to practice—even if you don’t own a gun and never want to own one!• LIV—huge nightclub everyone fights to attend and pay outrageous prices for booze…• Key West—it really says something when Key West’s “lower Duval Street makes Bourbon Street look like Sesame Street…”The laughs are throughout along with the occasional  serious moments (not really!) Barry remains King!I give the book five stars!Quoth the Raven…
