I love David Sedaris, I have several of his books and I love his wry, dry sense of humor. I always enjoy hearing him read and I think, in this case, he seemed to be enjoying himself. I thought it was too short and not really price appropriate. But I laughed and enjoyed what was there.

I Wish There Was More

Ahhhhh, it feels so good to laugh that much. I loved it. His live readings are always so special, and that's what all of these are. I just wish it were about 10 times longer !!!! Such a tease you are, David. Be assured he has many other books, every one of which are great. He would be a cool friend to have....always laughing.

Love him !!

David Sedaris at his best! I laughed all the way through this hour plus talk. I just love how his mind works. He has perfect timing, he lets the audience laugh and catch up to his next funny line.

No one is funnier reading their own words!

Sedaris does not disappoint! His reading of his own work makes for perfect entertainment. Listened whole votes are being counted for the 2020 election and it was a perfect stress buster. Thank you David Sedaris your humor and storytelling is a magical gift to all of us.

Like the stories. Performance is of course amazing. However I have read most of the stories from his other books before.

Stories are good but most are from his other books

Would you listen to David Sedaris again? Why?

Oh my gosh. I listen to all his books over and over again. My husband has surprised me with two of his readings. I never laughed so hard.

What was one of the most memorable moments of David Sedaris?

I love the story about his babysitters. Mrs. Peacock is my favorite. So, so southern , even I needed a translator.

What about David Sedaris’s performance did you like?

I enjoy his cadence. He has perfect timing. And he seems to share a lot of his life with us. Just glad I'm not in his family.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Just the Beginning.

Any additional comments?

As you can tell I'm a huge fan. I love all his world travel and personal tales. He's funny to everyone. After my husband overcame his homophobia. Yes he was one of those. He loves him as much as I do.

David Sedaris .. always fun.

Would you listen to David Sedaris again? Why?

I love David Sedaris. The first time I heard him he was describing his job as a Macys Santa Elf and I was hooked from there. He's an understated and engaging writer.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I dont think I had a favorite character per se.

Have you listened to any of David Sedaris’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. And this one has been funnier than the others Ive read

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There were plenty of times were I was laughing out loud

Any additional comments?

This is a really good collection of shorts. The only problem is. It's so short. I thought my app had malfunctioned when it ended an hour and change into the recording.

Laughed the whole way through
