Title: Disappointing
Review: I must agree with many of the reviewers, after reading "Naked" and "Dress Your Family..." I expected this book to have me laughing out loud. I am now on page 79 and have smiled once - I don't remember at what.In other books that Sedaris wrote, he turns ordinary real-life events into hilarious encounters. I read his other books and found myself rereading lines to friends as we both laughed out loud. Instead of writing about his life (and the lives of others around him), Barrel Fever is a collection of mostly fiction stories (12) with four essays at the end of the book. I found none of the fictional stories to be funny, nor any of the essays.If you want to laugh out loud, read "Naked" and "Dress Your Family in..." If you must read "Barrel Fever," borrow a friends copy so you won't feel guilty about wasting your money.
