Book Reviews of David Sedaris Live at Carnegie Hall
Book Review: I needed a Stadium Pal for this cd
Summary: 5 Stars
I listened to this cd while driving to San Francisco in a torrential rainstorm. It not only made the traffic bearable, but I was laughing so hard, I truly thought I might have to pull over.
I've been a fan of Sedaris for years, always enjoying his bits on NPR and This American Life. I've read all of his books and thought about purchasing the super $80 Sedaris boxset with readings from all his tomes. But this cd was a bargain and so hilarious. Several of the readings ended up in Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, but I had not read or heard some of the pieces he did from Esquire.
Book Review: A real treat
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this CD since you get to hear David Sedaris do several of his stories and its a real treat to hear his amusing almost deadpan style as he tells his tales. I had heard parts of this before and decided to order one for me and one more as a gift since I figured anyone who has read and liked him, would love listening to him. I enjoyed the Q & A with the audience at the end of the performance. He is such a unique and funny character and if you like reading him, I bet you will love listening to him!Book Review: The Essential David Sedaris
Summary: 5 Stars
As good as his books are, David Sedaris is so much funnier when you hear him reading his work on the radio, and if you happen to have the opportunity of catching one of his live readings or book signings, then you will be in for a very special treat. This collection comes closest to that live experience and contains some of his very best work. DAVID SEDARIS LIVE AT CARNEGIE HALL is an essential acquisition for any serious or casual fan of Sedaris's work.

Book Review: David Sedaris Live!
Summary: 5 Stars
There's not much better than hearing David Sedaris read his own material live. I've had the honor of getting to see him live myself, and it was a great evening. This CD definitely captures the spirit of being in a live audience.
David's stories are excellent and he's in top form. I think "6 - 8 Black Men" is an excellent new Christmas story, plus I love the stuff from his diary -- stadium pal and shopping with Amy. Hilarious.
Book Review: Now I single-handedly have guilt!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just hilarious! David pulls you right into the story with his delivery. He is an astute observer and flavors his writing with keen perceptions. They are so dead on that when brought slowly up to the surface, everyone can find something to relate to. I know that now I feel remorse for the time I told my brother no one would notice him wearing girl's pants. Thanks David! Thanks for all the laughs, they continue on long after listening.
