A review by onetruekim
The Best of Me by David Sedaris

2.0

I am a big fan of essays and personal memoir and I've enjoyed Sedaris on NPR over the years, but try as I might I just can't fall wholly in love with him the way so many people have. He's absolutely an exceptionally talented writer who knows how to tell a story, my problem is that....I rarely like his stories. I thought for sure I'd have a better experience with a "best of" collection (this is the second or third Sedaris book I've sampled,) especially since I went with the audio version. But I found most of them to be exceptional in terms of craft but not particularly interesting in terms of content.

Normally in a case like this I'd say, "I am just not the target audience for this," but I'm pretty sure I am absolutely in the target range and I'm just a contrarian.
