Title: Super start, slower later
Review: I was in tears I was laughing so hard during this book. David Sedaris is a wonderful writer. He keeps your interest and the words flow so well throughout. Sedaris is great with dialog. Every conversation is realistic. You only have to read his stuff once.Whether he is describing music class when he is young or apartment shopping when older Sedaris speaks with realism, wit and that ever present bit of sarcasism.I am not prone to peeking into other peoples windows but I love to walk through the 'rich neighborhoods' and sort of NOTICE how those other people live. Sedaris describes his similar experience but with the humor that I never thought of.But this is a memoir not a novel so at times the book losses a bit of focus. It doesn't really go anywhere. Even so it is really fun to read and that's why I picked it up, to be entertained. And I was. With that in my mind it is worth reading. There are not many books today that give you a good laugh and are well written too.
