Book Reviews of When You Are Engulfed in Flames
Book Review: Cynical Sedaris Strikes Again
Summary: 5 Stars
I love cynical writings so David Sedaris is one of my favorites though this book is a bit more introspective and sensitive. As he gets older, he thinks things through more and understands the weaknesses and silliness of others and has come to understand their situations. Amazon had the best price on the book and I like that they mail in boxes so damage isn't done to the contents. Most sellers would use a bag for a book. I highly recommend both the book and the seller.Book Review: Sedaris Delivers a Hilarious Must-Have!
Summary: 5 Stars
As always, Sedaris delivers. This book is hilarious in its oddities while simultaneously sparking something in you that says, "That's totally happened to me." Sedaris finds a way to take the mundane and make it laugh out loud funny. His quirky personality makes him just the right amount of crazy to keep us on his side and completely "engulfed" in his stories.
This book will not disappoint. And if it does... you might want to get your head checked.
Book Review: Like a letter from a friend
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was so enjoyable! Reading it was like receiving a letter from a friend. The style is so laid back and "everyday" that you really feel like you're in a conversation with Sedaris and I actually felt disappointed when it was over. The book is also one of those rare items that you can pick up, read any chapter, and thoroughly connect with the content. You might even find yourself running into another room to read passages to your family! :)Book Review: funniest read I've had since Burrows
Summary: 5 Stars
Sedaris' book title caught my eye, and I ordered it on a whim, only later realizing that i had caught a bit of his interview about the book on Jon Stewart (I was mostlikely half asleep). It was literally laugh-out-loud funny in a realistic way, not at all forced, and I loved his phraseology. I'm recommending it to everyone i know with the same sort of warped sense of humor I have; those who can relate to the absurdity in every day occurrences.Book Review: when you are engulfed in flames
Summary: 5 Stars
David Sedaris has cost me a lot of money, all well spent, ever since the first time I heard him on This American Life. Subscription to The New Yorker, all his books, XM Radio so I could hear This American Life 7 days a week, tickets to see him perform live.....All worth the expense to be entertained and the stories I still snicker about when I think of them after witnessing another mundane task he has otherwise turned into an hilarious account.
