Sleepwalk With Me and Other Painfully True Stories by Mike Birbiglia

3.0

Most of the stories that Birbiglia tells in this book are amusing, but much of the material is culled directly from his stand-up act and while it comes alive and is fun to hear onstage, a lot of the jokes and anecdotes fall flat in readable form. Some of these stories aren't particularly memorable or special, either. However, the portions at the end devoted to his sleep disorder are easily the highlights of this book and reach a deeper emotional and personal level that the rest lacked.
