David Sedaris Talks Pretty

Date of Review:  Jun 2, 2000
Review: Call it a bad case of Spring Fever.

A yet unread collection of Peter Taylor short stories, purchased a few weeks ago on eBay, sits untouched on one of my many bookshelves. The critically acclaimed debut novel of Zadie Smith sits...

"Me Talk Pretty One Day" (AKA Learning to Speak French the David Sedaris way)

Date of Review:  Jun 11, 2007
The Bottom Line: Many laugh out loud chapters in this book with a uniquely written style.
Review: I was taking my time reading "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris. I had read some reviews of it here on Epinions, but really wanted to form my own o-pinion about this popular author's book. This is one of Mr. Sedaris' earlier works, this book...

Talking (and Writing) Pretty for Ed Grover

Date of Review:  Sep 3, 2005
The Bottom Line: Hilarious and insightful.
Review: It was stunning when I learned that our very own Ed Grover was afflicted with cancer. Ed has always been a highly regarded writer on the site and someone many look up to. It was suggested that a write-off be done for epinionators to express their...

Sedaris Hits His Mark Again

Date of Review:  Oct 17, 2000
Review: I was first introduced to David Sedaris five or so years ago when his hilarious ?SantaLand Diaries? were broadcast on NPR?s Morning Edition. In them, Sedaris tells of his depressing job as one of Santa?s elves at Macy?s one poverty-stricken...

I just can't FLUSH this monster! Yikes! Funny stuff!

Date of Review:  Sep 6, 2000
Review: We have a good friend who has always joked that if you put a toddler on a stage in a ?Toddlers Only? Comedy Club, all they?d have to do is occasionally blurt out words like ?poop? and ?pee? and the whole crowd would just erupt with laughter. Having...

Escape From Your Boring Life By Reading About David Sedaris's Adventures

Date of Review:  Sep 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: I had a great time reading about David's struggles and challenges, laughing out loud at times about the strange situations in which he'd seem to regularly find himself.
Review: I got "Me Talk Pretty One Day" from a friend of mine who enjoyed it and wanted to pass it on to me. I really needed this book when I got it, as I'd been stressing out over finding a job and a place to live for the past few months. The crappy economy...

Have Sense of Humor, Will Travel

Date of Review:  Jul 7, 2000
Review: Move over, Mark Twain. Make room at the Algonquin, Dorothy Parker. Mr. Franken, be prepared to give up your chair on Politically Incorrect. Get ready for some competition, Christopher Buckley.

David Sedaris is ready for his close-up. His...

~Me Laugh SO Hard at Book~

Date of Review:  May 21, 2002
The Bottom Line: ~Sedaris mocks everything a fine upstanding American holds dear by bashing it with humour, then comes back to us showing us what we love about our great country.~
Review: Recently, before an out of state trip, my loving cohort (nchoward) threw a book my way. I'd read his review before, but never actually thought about reading the book myself. Boy was I missing out.

Just having finished secondary grad...

Booze, Drugs, and the French

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2000
Review: What makes a man like David Sedaris tick? Apparently for a very long time, it took a lot of narcotics and some alcohol to boot. It also took a wild imagination and a longing to be other people or rather other personalities. Apparently, all it takes...

Pretty Funny Every Day

Date of Review:  Jan 18, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you've ever thought, "Now there's an idea I couldn't have created without lots of drugs," read this book. Sedaris sets his own rules and gleefully breaks them.
Review: David Sedaris doesn't know the meaning of normal. With essay topics ranging from his experience as a methamphetamine addicted performance artist, to his food-hording, Great Dane enamored father, and his false efforts at learning French, Sedaris...
