“this was an okay book. horribly written, but the facts were pretty interesting. i did wonder how accurate some of it was, though.”

“David Sedaris is hilarious. My favorite story in this book is "You Can't Kill the Rooster." I sooooo want to meet Paul Sedaris!”
“Odd. That's all I can ever really say about Carlton Mellick III and his writing.”
“I read a little bit of this book every day when I was pregnant. It really helped me to know what was normal for the month I was in. ”
