I feel like with David Sedaris, I find him consistently funny about a third of the time. The man has essays that literally made me cackle while I was listening to this audiobook at work. But he also has essays that I find utterly forgettable and a few where he comes across as one of the world's most irritating people (which I'm pretty sure he's intentionally exaggerating for humor's sake based on his tone, but I still find it annoying to sit through). He also has a bit of a judge-y vibe at points, which again I'm fairly certain is intentional to be funny, I just don't always find it funny. Humor is a bit hard to review because it's mostly just whether you get on with it or not.

Overall, it's hard for me to rate these books high or low. He's four stars on a good day for me, but most of the time probably sits around a three and this was no different.

It's also a bit harder for me to talk about this book in terms of specific essays because I listened to the audiobook and my brain just doesn't differentiate between stories or retain them as well in that medium, but my general thoughts are this is a recommend if you like David Sedaris or want to give him a go. Not my favorite from him, but enough good bits that it's worth it and I'll probably listen to another of his books in a few months.
