Summary: Don't read this in public!
Review: I was laughing out loud so much that I couldn't read it on my way to work because other people on the train would give strange looks, it is THAT funny! He is hilarious and it helps if you've ever heard one of Mr. Sedaris' readings on NPR. It's a lot better to read this book with his voice in your head, with his intonations and sarcasms.

Summary: Funny and Sincere...Possibly True?
Review: Funny stuff from Sedaris, a guy who's qualified to write funny stories because he's lived them, one way or another. I have no doubt that Sedaris stretches the truth in many of his anecdotes, but that's a sign of a good storyteller (after all, anyone could be passive witness to a great many funny incidents, but that doesn't mean we'll necessarily laugh with just anybody). When you have this much amusing material, it's no coincidence - it's skill.What I loved best was Sedaris's ability to tell ordinary yet quirky stories involving everyday yet hilarious people. He does this without talking down, settling for empty sarcasm, or self-pity. Here is an observant narrator both full of wit and imagination and free of cumbersome pretension. From his blunt mom and deluded dad, to his innocently cruel but deliciously virulent sister, the supporting players (the subjects, even) are likeable and familiar.

Summary: not as good as "Naked" but still a funny book!
Review: "Me Talk Pretty One Day" is Sedaris' fourth collection of stories. This book contains some hilarious moments in "You Can't Kill the Rooster" about his brother, Paul, and "Jesus Shaves" about French lessons. There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments in this book. If you've enjoyed David's other offerings, "MTPOD" is for you.

Summary: Genuinely sardonic book...
Review: which will leave your stomach feeling happy and your face muscles loose...laughing at its best!! =) Well, what can I say about David Sedaris..hmmm...he is by far the most sardonic author I have stumbled upon!! =) I have also caught him on NPR a few times on the show "This American Life!!!" He keeps you interested at the same time laughing out loud at his carefully written stories with language detail!! =)
He discusses speech impediment,homosexuality, friends, relatives (Rooster...the funny rebel bro...=), etc... This book is all about life and its various facets that one can on occassion overlook...the little things that he describes make the most hilarious settings!!! =) Happy Reading!!! =)His book "NAKED" is on my list next... =)

Summary: I didn't roll on the floor laughing
Review: Well, I can't certify to some readers' comments that this book is laugh-out-loud funny. I find it humorous and poignant through out. Some essays I laughed, some I pondered, and some made me think. However, I like this book a lot, especially the tapes read by the author himself.
