Insane City

This is another comic crime caper by Dave Barry. It's about a nice guy who's otherwise not much of a catch, traveling down to Florida to marry a hot blonde who's also the daughter of a multi-millionaire. In a span of mere hours things go fantastically wrong and the wedding is in two days. Will he make it? In a bazillion very short chapters the many things than can go wrong do and they pile up fast – it was a bit of a struggle to care since so many of the (two-dimensional) characters aren't all that likable. And the ones who are more likeable aren't all that smart. But it reads so fast, I went all the way through this extremely unlikely tale that also includes an occasionaly violent, love-sick orangutan named Trevor. So that happened.

(FYI: My wife gave me this. It was a preview copy that she found in someone's trash.)
