Not quite as funny as When You Are Engulfed in Flames was(which was the first Sedaris book I’d read), but I really did enjoy this book. I think it really picked up on charmingness after the second half. He manages to capture the simultaneous monotony and chaos of everyday life, and I find that style of writing incredibly refreshing. Found myself noting surprisingly profound passages immediately followed by a hilariously absurd event.

Homely, comforting and easy to read. Needed something not to hard and I got it.

A classic David Sedaris, and one with stories that can be revisited again and again, like an old friend.

Readable, but not particularly funny in my opinion. It's a good beach read because the chapters aren't related, so if you have a short attention span, this would be a good one.
