Absolutely loved it! Laugh out loud funny!

David Sedaris has an entertaining perspective on life and can be especially endearing if your dad is of Greek ancestry, if you like France and its capital and if you are sympathetic to the gay experience. While I wouldn't pass this book on to my daughters or mother for fear they would think I have a sick sense of humor, I will recommend to my husband and other male and female adult friends.

I thought I would enjoy David Sedaris' humor and stories but actually found this to be a very boring read.

MR. SEDARIS STRIKES AGAIN
If you think you have a weird family, do yourself a favor and read this author's books. You'll never complain again. This is a genuine poster family for dysFUNctional. I've read all Mr. Sedaris' books and never fail to be amazed that his family still talks to him.

Wow. I started to read Barrel Fever and was totally turned off to David Sedaris but I already had this book on the way. Thank goodness I gave him another chance, it was a fantastic, quick, and silly read! I'm going to have to give Barrel Fever another shot as well!

David Sedaris and his kooky family will have you laughing until you cry.

More of the same brilliance from David Sedaris. Very touching and hilarious and twisted. I'll read anything he writes. Especially loved the essays about his brother.

Sedaris takes the ordinary and makes it extraordinarily funny.

Dark humor. In my opinion, this is the best Sedaris book I have read. Not as dark as some of his other books. A quick read.
Gina C. from PITTSBURGH, PA wrote on 4/7/2008...i don't dislike David Sedaris, but I think this book could go to a better home
Sara P. (A sharp and witty collection of essays, mainly focusing on Sedaris's family. Excellent. If you're a fan of Augusten Burroughs, you'll probably like this book too.
LYNN K. (I did not like this book, or another that I tried to read by this author. I really don't see why so many people like this. It was not funny to me and quickly stopped being interesting enough to read.
