“a solid collection, especially after the letdown of "dress your family in corduroy and denim", not that anything by sedaris is really a letdown.

he excels best at walking the line between funny, sad, and terribly awkward, most exceptionally in "answers to saturday's puzzle".
i listened to this on audio, and his readings really add a personal level of hilarity and believability to his essays.”

“Audiobook review: Sedaris' dead-pan delivery makes this book difficult to read in public lest you find yourself stared at by passing strangers, all avoiding the hysterical giggler with the headphones.”

“David Sedaris has one liners that make you laugh out loud. His essays are so amusing, and it is even crazier that they are true. While this wasn't my favorite one of his books, I did love April in Paris and a few others.”

Previously published hilarious and irreverent essays in Sedaris' off beat yet right on the money sense of humor. This collection ranges from childhood exploits to elderly neighbors eccentricities. A truly funny book.

Sedaris becomes open and personal, even more so than in the past, about his homo-sexuality, and keeps the laughs coming. While a lot of authors who share their personal life in their books start to fall off, Sedaris has mastered his art, and, in my opinion, has written his finest work.
