Totally dysfunctional and yet incredibly insightful. How she managed to accomplish both in one book is beyond me, but I actually learned quite a lot. Granted, some of it was NOT to do, but even that she managed to make amusing.
Lots of fun and laugh-out-loud silliness here. Beyond the goof, though, are some seriously tempting recipes. Sedaris is a treat.
Amy Sedaris is hilarious. I pick this book up, open at random & laugh. Her vanilla cupcakes are good too.
Hilarious send up of Time-Life home decorating and cook books, addressed by Amy Sedaris who urges you to drink a lot and make hor d'oeuvres by sticking pineapple and marshmallows on pointy sticks.
Didn't like this book- I did not like the format- a very 50's look to it - may be that way it suppose to look but I didn't find anything tolike aboutit.
There's a picture in there, of Amy Sedaris wearing an impossibly cutesy party dress, smiling proudly, holding a child in an identical outfit, whose face is scrunched up in terror. It is quite possibly my all-time favorite photograph ever taken of anyone, and pretty much acts as a metaphor for the entire book. I particularly enjoy her sections on throwing a children's birthday, and a party for the elderly. Dessert: a banana.
I listened to this book in its audio form, and Amy Sedaris performed it well. She is witty, smart, and entertaining. There was much to like about this book, and a decent smattering of laugh out loud humor. I would have given it 4 stars if it was shorter. It took me longer to listen to than I originally expected, and I think it's because the schick got bogged down in a few places. Regardless, it was funny and worth listening to.
There's not one funnier than this book. BAR NONE. I have read it and am currently reading it, and will always BE reading it!
