Humor is a genre that usually works best when heard rather than read, and Dave Barry's is one wisecracking, sidesplitting example of an [HighBridge] audio book that can make you howl with laughter. The printed book is also a laughfest, but there is no guarantee you will have the same comic delivery as narrator Mike Dodge. Barry, a syndicated newspaper columnist, conducted a survey in which he asked people to name the songs they most despised. He was inundated with more than 10,000 responses. Annoying pop tunes apparently make folks very emotional. They also bring out the best of Barry's acerbic wit. -- ( Mar. 1, 1998 )
