Title: Not funny. Irritating with a strong mix of boring.
Review: Bought this book because 900 reviews suggested this book could be hilarious. I found David Sedaris after reading all of Augusten Burroughs books (HIGHLY recommend!). He was frequently compared to Sedaris.The difference being that Burroughs is actually funny and Sedaris is, quite simply, not. In this book, the chapters are broken down into what are like mini-stories. They don't even seem like they TRY to be funny. You find yourself flipping page after page hoping that there will be some kind of redemption for the 15 pages you just read to find out that the conclusion is just as blatantly boring as the beginning and middle.It sucks that I spent $10 on a piece of literature I cannot and will not finish. It should be like other products- returnable (I bought it in Kindle form.)Save your money and your brain cells- read Augusten Burroughs train-wreck literature if your looking for a humorous read.
