Big Trouble by Dave Barry

A slapstick thriller set in Florida, featuring oddball characters. They include a homeless man who lives in a tree, a student with a squirt gun playing a game called Killer, a couple of real killers, and a terrorist with a nuclear bomb in a suitcase.

I checked this book out from the library after I saw it in the large print section. I got it for my husband as a joke, but Barry's warning about bad words put off my husband, so I read it. The first 140 pages or so went by pretty quickly, but then it started to drag a bit. It's funny and his comments on everyday life are right on and funny. There was a part about a mother degrading herself to save her daughter that I thought didn't fit with what that character had done up until then. Otherwise, it's an OK book.
