"I LAUGHED SO HARD I FELL OUT OF A CHAIR. This is the funniest thing I've read in almost forty years. It's his funniest, coolest book." -Stephen King
"OUTRAGEOUSLY WARPED."-Carl Hiaasen
"[LIKE] A GARRY TRUDEAU SEND-UP OF HARD-BOILED CRIME NOVELS...featuring a drifter who sleeps in a tree, two arms-dealing Russian hoods, a pair of two-bit losers who hustle tourists, a pretty, illegal bien, a boozy embezzler, a psychedelic South American toad [and] twb klutzy New Jersey hit men more twists than the 1-95 Miami airport interchange and more pratfalls
than a Three Stooges comedy."-Publishers Weekly
"DAVE BARRY SUCCEEDS WILDLY WITH BIG TROUBLE. For be it from me to demystify [it] in terms of plot. There are more important spiritual matters in this book to entertain readers, like...a highly agitated husband who believes the family dog is Elizabeth Dole coming to suck out his soul... There's a Kurt Vonnegut-like cosmic integrity to Barry's work that keeps his crazy characters credible.
Kinky Friedman, The New York Times
"VERY FUNNY...SATIRICAL SOCIOLOGY WORTHY OF TOM WOLFE. 'A."" -Entertainment Weekly
