 The best yet... December 23, 2008
It has been a while since I've read his previous books but this one had me laughing out loud in the car. My only regret was that I didn't have anyone to share it with at the moment although I've since let one of my friends borrow it so that she can roll around with laughter. The best book yet. Simply fantastic. David will not let you down. Promise...

i too was influenced by some of the previous reviews and i dont understand how anyone could have possibly found this book even remotely funny. i forced myself to finish it but it was painful.
Another funny book by Sedaris December 10, 2008
A very good read. Many funny moments, but I called friends and read "April in Paris" to them. Laugh out loud funny!
Usual brilliance but not as strong as previous books December 9, 2008

Simply put the last story, or set of stories about quitting smoking, seem like filler. The ending feels more like snippets of stories instead of containing a beginning, middle and end. Even given that it is still very enjoyable and a great and quick read. 90% of the book is classic Sedaris hysterical, brilliant laugh out loud stories. If you are a fan you will love it, if you have never read a Sedaris book, check out Barrel Fever or an earlier title before reading this one, then read this one!.
One of his funniest books yet! December 7, 2008
Mr. Sedaris is an author you don't read. His books must be listened to because his voice is truly original and half his gift. The funniest story is about his trip to Japan to quit smoking. He's quirky and he's profane and we love him for it. His life also makes you realize how interesting your own is. So, tell your stories. www.lauraottman.com
