Search - why I'm like this : True Stories

Made me laugh out loud and tear up, sometimes even in the same story. I love that she has a huge fear of moths, because I do also, and it makes me feel a bit vindicated.

The book is an easy read, but not all of it is light matter. There's some heavy stuff that makes you want to go hug your grandmother while she's still around and in her right mind. But the end story about truffle sniffing pigs is a bit off with the rest of the book. Oh well, nothings perfect, but this book is pretty close for me.

Funny, a nice easy read that is well written enough to make you feel like you're reading something smart.

Kaplan's book of essays are funny and sometimes heartbreaking. Though they are self-revealing, they also offer us a reflection into our own heads and hearts.

My life story will be entitled, "Why I'm Like this". I liked these autobiographical essays. "Accounts of the ups and downs of daily life." Jewish stories, but funny even if you aren't.

I originally ordered this book because several reviews stated that the reader had laughed out loud due to its hilarity. Unfortunately, I read about half of it and decided that I didn't find it to be half as amusing as stated.

Though the book did have some positive aspects, I found most of the content to be only somewhat decent.

Great read with a humourous take on her life. Guranteed to make you laugh out loud.
