Naked Abridged

Rating:
Summary: Side-splittingly funny!
Review: David Sedaris is a natural. He doesn't write funny, he and his life ARE funny! I've not laughed so hard since Seinfeld went off the air!

Summary: A Must Read
Review: I received my copy of "Naked" from my sister as a birthday gift in December, and because of a particularly stressful semester, have not had a chance to read it until now, mid-May. What a pleasant surprise it was to read this book and be entertained, appalled, energized, and at times left on the edge of my seat. David Sedaris has a knack for catching the reader off guard, which is where a great deal of his humor originates. This tome is nothing short of brilliant!

Summary: rip roaringly humorous
Review: Is David misanthropic, self pitying and dysfunctional? Yep. Is he funny? You betcha. The first time I read Naked, I laughed until my sides ached. Lighten up, naysayers- comedy ain't pretty.

Summary: Hysterical
Review: Thank God there is someone who does not take himself seriously in this world. Welcome to your mirror with all its neurosis in plain view. I laughed untill I thought I'd alarm the neigbors. Not since Catcher In The Rye have I laughed out loud with a book. And not since the same have I felt such pangs of reality. Everyone should read this book

Summary: Funny, but more real than humorous.
Review: Almost everyone I know loved this book. But they loved it because they laughed hysterically. I found many parts of this book to be humorous, indeed. Bot not hilarious. No, these stories hit too close to home to be that funny. I, like so many people, gay or straight, was (and, to some extent, still am) as insecure as the youngster Sedaris describes. Obsessive, fantasizing about a better (more wealthy, prominent) life. This book is fantastic, more so because it is cathartic (though it's awfully funny as well).

Rating:
Summary: It will put smiles to your face, if not laughs.
Review: If you like to laugh this is the book to read. I couldn't help but chuckle to myself while reading "Naked". It was definitly a roller coaster ride of funny experiences and stories. I can't even recall a book that I found so hilarious.

Summary: HAEL YEAHH - CAN'T WAIT FOR HIS NEXT BOOK
Review: This book is my new Litmus Test to give to people. If they don't like, I want nothing to do with them.

Summary: Hilarious insight into the seedy underbelly of kitschculture
Review: David Sedaris writes this autobiographical account of his childhood and his travel experiences with a sardonic wit that is remniscent of John Waters. His account of a hellish Greyhound bus ride is especially funny. His portrayal of his mother is an interesting combination of sarcasm and sympathy. You get the impression that he inherited her way of looking at the world.
