Ugh. Product of its time i guess. I remember finding some of these stories hilarious when i heard David Sedaris read some of them ten years ago or so, but i found them to be vaguely chuckle worthy to horrible. If anyone is on the fence I'd say get the audiobook version instead of the book because Sedaris' deadpan delivery really adds to his stories (or Amy in the case of the Christmas letter). But if you are a sensitive person and don't like dry, sarcastic humor, you should skip this. Also, some of the wording was ... Outdated at best. Use of the word retarded and "snow negros".
