“LESSONS FROM LUCY is extremely funny (in a couple of places I laughed
until water ran from my eyes and a slightly thicker fluid came from my nose).
You’d expect that from Dave Barry. What you might not expect is how insight-
ful it is, and downright touching. If you’ve grown old along with Dave, you
will want to read this book. You’ll also want to read it if you’re a dog lover, but
that’s optional. These are very lively life lessons even for the canine-impaired.”
—Stephen King
"Barry’s signature sarcasm and dry wit is on display throughout; his one-liners
and sarcastic asides provide much of the book’s appeal....Barry’s easy, conversa-
tional tone and sense of humor make for an effortless reading experience for dog
lovers and Barry fans alike."
—Publishers Weekly
"Astute advice about growing older rolled into a blanket of classic Barry humor....
The lessons are filled with the author's signature brand of quirky, sometimes
sarcastic humor....Even for those who are not as enamored by dogs as the author,
his gentle wisdom seeps through."
—Kirkus Reviews
