Book Reviews of Me Talk Pretty One Day
Book Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book at the prompt of my English instructor after he read one of my own essays, he told me to read David Sedaris' books to get some tips and ideas.
The first book I picked up was this one after searching through the library for him.
I read the first story to my mother, who even though she is rather homophobic found it hilarious.
The book was so funny that it made me literally laugh out loud (which can draw strange looks if you are in a restaurant).
It is one of my most favorite books. Ever!!
Book Review: One of America's funniest writers at the top of his game
Summary: 5 Stars
When David Sedaris is in top form, there is nobody funnier. I think this is his best collection of all - hardly a dud story in the bunch. The "rabbit of easter" story, detailing hilarious misunderstandings in his French class, can make me howl just remembering it.
A very funny writer, at the top of his game. The only thing funnier than reading this book is to hear Sedaris read the stories on tape.
Book Review: Who wouldn't love David sedaris?
Summary: 5 Stars
I recieved this book as a gift from my husban who hates to read yet loves NPR. This is the first Sedaris book I've read. I'm a fan! I plan on purchasing more of his books. I'm very busy and I find that books of essays are better because I can read one essay at a time. I enjoyed reading about sedaris' French teacher and how to explain Easter in a second language.Book Review: Just as good as I had hoped...
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was great from start to finish--I don't usually find myself "laughing out loud" when I'm reading, but this book had me pretty close. David Sedaris continues to write with the same brutal honesty and dry wit that made "Naked" such a good read. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys satire and doesn't get easily offended.Book Review: brilliance
Summary: 5 Stars
I keep this book on my nightstand at all times. Every essay in here is a true gem, a work of art. This collection is testament enough that David Sedaris is a true genius of American literature. Even if he's living in France. Not that he's an "ex-pat" or anything.
