Title: What a waste of paper.....
Review: I have read Sedaris in Esquire and GQ, specifically, The Rooster at the Hitchin' Post and "Put a Lid on It", both of which I thought, and still do, to be quite well written and very funny....and this was the reason for purchasing the book. "Baby Einstein" and "Nuit of the Living Dead" were really good as well.That said, what the book did for me was make me feel fairly good about myself, even on a bad day. If I was half this ineffective in life, venal and flat out soft, I would have killed myself before reaching puberty. It isn't so much that Sedaris is pitiful, or that one wants to hate him, it is just that his existence seems like a waste....one that is recorded and categorized for history.
Is the review positive or negative?
