 Didn't live up to the hype September 19, 2008

After all the amazing reviews I heard about this book, I maybe laughed out loud twice. I didn't find anything cutting edge about his humor, it was predictable and often downright boring.
Loved it! September 16, 2008
I bought this book for one of my Writing Arts classes and I had never heard of David Sedaris. I thought the book was awesome, very funny, and worth the money. I would definitely recommend it to others!
Good, but I was looking for more detail on his drug addiction years September 14, 2008
This was a great book, but I've been looking for something that stacks up to Burrough's Dry. I loved this collection of essays that took on a biography like feel. He left me hanging on to my seat wanting more, but kept me interested all-the-while. I would recommend this book, but the library may be the best place to get this one because you will be done with it in a couple of hours. Having been my first Sedaris book, I look forward to a couple more.
Dull September 6, 2008

A collection of autobiographical essays by Sedaris which appeared in different magazines before being collected here. Neither funny, nor witty, this makes for very light and insipid reading. I'd rather read Donald E. Westlake or Dave Barry for my humour supply.
 Still the One September 3, 2008

By far my favorite of all his books. Dress Your Family in Corduroy comes in second and Naked comes in third. His new one with the skeleton on the cover didn't impress. His dry wit and sarcasm make me laugh out loud. He is able to instill humor in the most disturbing circumstances and that's what makes him uniquely David Sedaris.
