Query: A short disappointment

Another in the line of Dave Barry MUST publish or fade away! This book is mainly developed along the lines of a Rand-McNally atlas history of three decades. Short, compressed statements of very little of interest or humour.This book fails dismally as a work of humour, as a work of originality, or as a work of fun. Barry goes so far as to admit in the work he has largely borrowed the chronology from another's book.A thorough waste of time!Perhaps, he should take the hint from the cover photograph, and really retire.
