    David Sedaris's humor is quite unique. It's entirely possible that one person could read this and find it slightly amusing, while another cries with laughter every other page.
    I've discovered via conversations with friends that listening to David on NPR's This American Life really helps to understand his style. Listening to his voice, patters of emphasis, and overall stoic view enables one to hear his voice narrating the entire book.
    I gave this one 3 stars (ratings are stupid, but I do it anyway), but I am looking forward to reading his other books with 4 stars of anticipation.
    I don't know if his books are translated into other languages, but I have a feeling that the humor would be mostly lost in translation.

  • I found myself laughing a lot with this book. I love David Sedaris' sense of humor. I took this book on a one week vacation and it was just the perfect addition to that trip.

    This book started out really strong in the funny department. It was so good I was even reading passages out loud to my husband after cracking up over them. But it quickly went down hill after the first few chapters. Some of the chapters were actually pretty disturbing and I don't know if they were supposed to be humorous or what but they were just really bad. I did laugh a few more times but it wasn't worth the read.
