Very funny, of course. For me, it was less laugh-out-loud funny than Me Talk Pretty (my personal favorite Sedaris book), but perhaps a little more thoughtful? It seems like he's exhausted bizarre childhood/young adult stories, and this book focused more on his actual life. I never really knew that much about Hugh before. I love it most when Sedaris writes about different cultures, and so my favorite essay of the bunch was the final piece, about trying to quit smoking in Japan. Anyway--I don't think any Sedaris fans will be disappointed by this.
