Me Talk Pretty One Day

This book was great from start to finish--I don't usually find myself "laughing out loud" when I'm reading, but this book had me pretty close. David Sedaris continues to write with the same brutal honesty and dry wit that made "Naked" such a good read. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys satire and doesn't get easily offended.

I really enjoy listening to David Sedaris and consequently I really enjoy this book-on-CD, however, I find that the collection of stories -- while varied -- are not as uniformly funny as found in DRESS YOUR FAMILY IN CORDUROY AND DENIM, which I find much more uniformly funny. That said, there's quite a few gems on ME TALK PRETTY ONE DAY! A must for any Sedaris fan.

Loved this! Absolutely hilarious. My favorite story is the one about taking French classes in France and the Easter Bell. Not for the faint of heart - very irreverent!
(We have seen him live too, if you like his books, you should definitely go see him live!)

I found that the book, Me Talk Pretty One Day, By David Sedaris was an amusing autobiography. It captured my attention and forced me to want to continue reading. I thought that Sedaris descriptively explained the details of his life. Sedaris made his personal life story hilarious, dramatic, and quite dirty.
The book was comical and kept me laughing a majority of the time. Sedaris has a very random sense of humor and that compelled me to read more. I also found some of his life tragedies were really stirring, keeping me on my toes as I read along. At a lot of times, Sedaris would speak in an exceeding indecent way. It was still very humorous, but if you don't prefer books that have a crude sense of humor, I would advise that this is not the book for you. This book most certainly had aspects that make it a really appealing book to read.
I definitely enjoyed this book and it was extremely interesting to read. This book is a great book for people who are seeking a droll book about a man's struggles in life. Me Talk Pretty One Day is a great book and I loved reading it.

The stories of his life are so bizarre and dysfunctional without being appologetic or critical of anyone. He uses excellent word choice to paint a hilarious and vivid picture of his family and childhood.
