About this product

Product Information

The Extravaganza of the Seasis a five-thousand-ton cash cow, a top-heavy tub whose sole function is to carry gamblers three miles from the Florida coast, take their money, then bring them back so they can find more money. In the middle of a tropical storm one night, these characters are among the passengers it carries: Fay Benton, a single mom and cocktail waitress desperate for something to go right for once; Johnny and the Contusions, a ship's band with so little talent they are . . . well, the ship's band; Arnold and Phil, two refugees from the Beaux Arts Senior Center; Lou Tarant, a wide, bald man who has killed nine people, though none recently; and an assortment of uglies whose job it is to facilitate the ship's true business, which is money-laundering or drug-smuggling or . . . something. What happens to them all in the midst of the fiercest storm in years, the unpredictable ways in which this trip will change their lives and send them ricocheting off each other like a giant game of pinball, is the story of this astonishing, wickedly satisfying, all-too-human novel by "one of the funniest writers alive" (Carl Hiaasen).

  • Dave Barry does it again! Tricky Business = 5 Stars

    I bought Tricky Business after reading Big Trouble by the same author. Tricky Business far exceeded my expectations. There is very little of informative content but thats okay because the humor and drama just make this a super read. It is not for the little kiddies as the author states, "It uses some (not many) naughty words". Please read and enjoy!!

  • A* all the way!

  • I love you, Dave, but this isn't your best work!

    Tricky Business was a disappointment. Why did I buy it? Because I love Dave Barry's comedy, and loved his first book. This one never really grabbed me. Sorry, Dave!
