“Have you read this author?I liked this book better than his first, Fraud. While I do think Rakoff is funny, I think he tries too hard to be funny like David Sedaris, and that is impossible.

“I haven't read FRAUD - but I just dug this book. I got it on audio cd and listened to it in the car. I thought it was hysterical - he read it just wonderfully. I listened to the piece on the cryogenic society over and over - thought it was brilliant, hilarious and haunting. I'm also a fan of Sedaris...”
