Editorial Reviews:
A new collection from David Sedaris is cause for jubilation. His recent move to Paris has inspired hilarious pieces, including Me Talk Pretty One Day, about his attempts to learn French. His family is another inspiration. You Cant Kill the Rooster is a portrait of his brother who talks incessant hip-hop slang to his bewildered father. And no one hones a finer fury in response to such modern annoyances as restaurant meals presented in ludicrous towers and cashiers with 6-inch fingernails. Compared by The New Yorker to Twain and Hawthorne, Sedaris has become one of our best-loved authors.

Summary: Didn't live up to the hype
Comment: After all the amazing reviews I heard about this book, I maybe laughed out loud twice. I didn't find anything cutting edge about his humor, it was predictable and often downright boring.

Summary: Loved it!
Comment: I bought this book for one of my Writing Arts classes and I had never heard of David Sedaris. I thought the book was awesome, very funny, and worth the money. I would definitely recommend it to others!

Summary: Good, but I was looking for more detail on his drug addiction years
Comment: This was a great book, but I've been looking for something that stacks up to Burrough's Dry. I loved this collection of essays that took on a biography like feel. He left me hanging on to my seat wanting more, but kept me interested all-the-while. I would recommend this book, but the library may be the best place to get this one because you will be done with it in a couple of hours. Having been my first Sedaris book, I look forward to a couple more.

Summary: Dull
Comment: A collection of autobiographical essays by Sedaris which appeared in different magazines before being collected here. Neither funny, nor witty, this makes for very light and insipid reading. I'd rather read Donald E. Westlake or Dave Barry for my humour supply.

Summary: Still the One
Comment: By far my favorite of all his books. Dress Your Family in Corduroy comes in second and Naked comes in third. His new one with the skeleton on the cover didn't impress. His dry wit and sarcasm make me laugh out loud. He is able to instill humor in the most disturbing circumstances and that's what makes him uniquely David Sedaris.
