sometimes funny, sometimes relatable, sometimes not

A ton of fun, dark, and laugh out loud funny. If you're looking for a David Sedaris novel to start with you've found it here.
emotional funny medium-paced
lighthearted fast-paced

I have listened to several David Sedaris audio books, and also a number of his Radio 4 series.
This was my first time reading one of his books, and it took me a little while to get into it. Not because it isn’t great, but just because I’ve spent so much time listening that I wasn’t quite tuned in to reading him.
Ultimately I really enjoyed this, but the voice in my head will never be as good as his delivery.
funny hopeful lighthearted reflective medium-paced
challenging dark emotional funny lighthearted reflective fast-paced

Even when I find a book hilarious, I rarely laugh out loud. This book made me laugh out loud. Read it.

I really want to like David Sedaris but this is the second book of his I’ve read & I just think maybe his writing isn’t for me? To be fair, I’m not a big fan of essay style books in general.
