3.5
I am probably in the minority on this one, but this book was only 3.5 stars. This is a collection of essays from other books by Sedaris, plus possible a couple of new ones. While I appreciated the writing style (I am a fan of essays) I did not enjoy all of the essays. This is the problem with a collection of essays, while some I laughed at, others fell flat for me. I did enjoy the essays that focused on language learning. I found his use of swearing to be too often and too much.
