Search - When You Are Engulfed in Flames

A quick and easy book to read. I didn't find this book nearly as funny as some of his earlier books, although I still found myself laughing out loud at a few parts. If you are a David Sedaris fan, then I would consider this book a must read - so you can judge for yourself.

As with his previously published books, this book is another collection of Sedaris' humorous essays about things that have happened to him.

The essays are of generally high quality, and even more than his prior books, I often found myself laughing out loud --- a very good sign!

The final third of the book is a long series of diary entries of his attempting to quit smoking; it dragged a bit, but still had it's humorous moments. It might be funnier to people who have themselves gone through that particular torture.

4 of 5 stars.

Hysterical - While reading this book in bed, I can't believe that I didn't wake my partner by trying to hold in my laughter - David's quirky outlook and perspective are most charming. "Solution to Saturday's Puzzle" literally had me in tears. Based on some other reviews, I will most definitely try one of the audio books next time.
