Comedy is a special kind of thing. It works best when it is recognizable, but it has to be blown out of proportion to be truly hilarious.

Kate and Scott have a vice, let’s be honest, we all have our vices. But this isn’t enough for Nick Spalding; for Nick Spalding their shared vice has to be a crippling embarrassment to everyone around them.

Spalding created some of the best absurd, down-to-earth normal people that I have come across in a book. They are a rather normal middle-class family, with all of the stresses and problems that any normal family has – how they handle those problems is what really makes this story so much fun. I frequently found myself saying to the two of them, “No, please don’t do that; you’ve gone far enough. Please! Stop! Now!” These two were a couple of great characters.

I can picture Spalding writing Dry Hard. He has this great premise and with every aspect of the story he is trying to figure out how to constantly up the ante; and he does.

What I really appreciated about Dry Hard is that it is more than just a hilarious story about a family working out their problems. It goes a few places as well. This makes the story so much more, separating it from the rest.

We are a couple of book reviewers

The couples who read together, stay together. That may not be scientifically proven, but it’s worked for us. We have been blogging for over twelve years. While we do enjoy reading together, we rarely read the same novels (although, it does happen occasionally). Sometimes a good book is just too good not to recommend to your spouse/blogging partner. If you’re looking for a book recommendation, you’ve come to the right place. Between the two of us, we cover a wide selection of genres. If you have a recommendation for us, we’d love to hear it! As always, happy reading!
