Amazing

I read this book at the prompt of my English instructor after he read one of my own essays, he told me to read David Sedaris' books to get some tips and ideas.

The first book I picked up was this one after searching through the library for him.
I read the first story to my mother, who even though she is rather homophobic found it hilarious.
The book was so funny that it made me literally laugh out loud (which can draw strange looks if you are in a restaurant).
It is one of my most favorite books. Ever!!

Originality, Great Writing, Irreverence, Wit

This book had me laughing out loud more than anything I've read in a long time. What I liked best about the collection, however, is that each essay carries its own weight. There is a purpose to each story and I never questioned how long it took me to get from start to finish. I was too busy laughing. Sedaris taps into his entire being, putting his heart and soul into his work. No one is safe--especially his colorful family and outrageous friends. Some might find his work offensive, but he makes no excuses. You get what you get with this collection . . . originality, great writing, irreverence, wit.

New Fav

I think David and Tom Elsa are my new favorite authors! There books are hilarious.

Very funny

The stories of his life are so bizarre and dysfunctional without being appologetic or critical of anyone. He uses excellent word choice to paint a hilarious and vivid picture of his family and childhood.

ENTERTAINING!!

This book was absolutely entertaining! Sedaris has a knack for off the cuff ranting. Worth a read.
