Summary: Warning: These Books Can be Addictive
Review: After reading the first DAVE book - Boyhood Daze - you will beome and avid fan of his brand of humor and how he allows you to laugh at life's little adventures. Can't wait for the new one - Stark Raving Dad - to arrive in May 2002. They just get funnier and funnier.

Summary: If this guy wasn't married, I'd throw myself at him
Review: I found this book while shelving books for a private library one day- I opened it and couldn't bear to put it down to finish my work, so I had to borrow it. I don't remember the last time a book made me laugh out loud, but I read this one to my friends on the way home that day and we laughed hysterically the whole time.

He's better than a Christian Dave Berry. He's funny and he's really got his head on straight thologically- I learned so much in between busting my gut- particularly in the chapter called "Without a Prayer"

Definitely a 5-star work. I can't wait to read more.

Summary: I love Dave
Review: I've decided that Dave Meurer is one of my new favorite authors. The first book of his that I read was Boyhood Daze: An Incomplete Guide to Raising Boys. As a mother of 3 boys (4 if you count my husband) I was interested on hearing the perspective of another parent with nothing but testosterone in the house. That book was hilarious.

This book was equally entertaining but from a different perspective. I found that Dave delved more into the God/christianity world in this book and was definitely more vocal about his beliefs and his faith. Not necessarily a bad thing, but this book didn't have quite the laugh-factor that Boyhood Daze carried. This book tended to get more "deep" at times and occasionally an amusing anecdote was interjected, possibly just to keep the reader from getting too serious.

Still I had several favorite chapters in this book and even lent it to my father to read. College Daze was a great chapter and I earmarked that one for future re-reads.

Summary: Laugh Out Loud Funny
Review: There are very few writers who can make me laugh out loud in a public place while reading their books. Dave Meurer does this for me. I'm sure when people see me convulsing in the doctor's office they are certain I've either having a siezure which is going to jeopardize the order of their appointment or I am reading some pretty smutty stuff. Dave doesn't need to be dirty to be funny. He just is. Funny, that is-not dirty.

This guy is a gem to read aloud to your friends. Dave Meurer possesses the family values of James Dobsen, the evangelistic zeal of Billy Graham, the humor of Groucho Marx. And he'd better give them back-he's getting them wrinkled.
