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.
