OK, this anthology has to be my absolute favourite. It houses all of the "extreme" things that Dave and his friends have done. From bungee jumping off a cruise ship to getting married in a dress from the hardware store to getting stuck in a dumbwaiter to riding roller coasters it's packed full of laughs and fun and, as always, amazing stories.
You know an anthology is going to hysterical when it starts out with a boy turning green while his parents are away and he's in the care of his older sister. From there it just gets better when Dave gets stuck in a dumbwaiter, Stephanie goes to London, Sam and Murphy get lost in Quebec, Dave gets a paper route, there's a water slide incident and a ten year old lottery ticket and it all culminates in Dave and the Roller Coaster.
From beginning to end this anthology is packed with laughs, and wisdom, not just from Dave and his friends but from the wonderful Stuart McLean himself. Frequent readers and listeners will love this book and cherish it forever and first time readers and listeners will laugh out loud.
In short, I do recommend that everyone read this book, it will make you smile and laugh and maybe make you want to go to the amusement park and try out a roller coaster or two.
