Title: Surprisingly unfunny!
Review: I was extremely excited to receive my copy of Barrel Fever. After having read "Naked" and "Me Talk Pretty One Day" I was thoroughly looking forward to another laugh out loud event. I was severely disappointed however when I finally got to read "Barrel Fever" strikingly not funny and dark to a fault, I had to force myself to read the whole collection. The stories that were the first and main part of the book were depressing and twisted. It was easy to tell that it was attempting to be humor but was falling drastically short. Three of the four essays that concluded the book were flat and boring and made me regret buying the book at all. The final essay however, "Santaland Diaries" was the diamond among all of the coal. Wonderfully funny, this last essay reminded me that, yes, I was still reading David Sedaris. If you are thinking about buying the book, borrow it from a friend and read "Santaland Diaries", but skip the rest.
