Title: Proves that anyone can write a book these days!
Review: Sedaris is a talented writer; he has good sentence structure and uses creative analogies to bring across his humor. Although I am impressed by his ability to be funny in writing, I wasn't at all tempted to laugh out loud (as other review writer have said). It's not THAT funny.What I find disappointing about the book is not the writing itself, but the writer and the content. His life is not all that different from the average American. Yes, his experiences in France are beyond that of what most of us accomplish in our lives, but then just write about France and leave out the whole childhood bit; it's no more interesting than anyone else's.
