Title: Occasionally funny, but mostly boring
Review: I bought this book because of the many rave reviews even on the book cover itself. I was greatly disappointed. It is funny in places but mostly sad. It is the story of a mostly dysfunctional person and his family: his overbearing father, cigarette smoking and alcoholic mother, and talented but uninterested siblings. Some parts are just pathetic as when Sedaris uses drugs. My suggestion is to read a library copy first and then buy his books if you find them worth the money.
Is the review positive or negative?
