I liked this book. It's witty and clever and made me laugh out loud several times. Sedaris has no problem making himself look... bad. It's one thing to degrade yourself, but Sedaris takes it to a whole new level. It's brilliant really.
This book is actually a collection of essays that Sedaris wrote about his life. They range from stories about his early childhood well in to his adult life. Some stories are touching, some are morbid and most are hilarious or at least bordering on so pathetic that they are funny.
I enjoyed this book a lot. I wouldn't say I struggled with it in the beginning; it was just sort of a slow start for me. Once I got in to it though I got through it pretty quickly.
This book is: Recommended
First line teaser: "When my family first moved to North Carolina, we lived in a rented house three blocks from the school where I would begin the third grade."
NEXT UP: The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger (Yes, I've never read this book. I know...)
