Holidays on Ice Audiobook

" The book that made me a Sedaris fan. "

" As someone already cynical about the holiday season, this book is the perfect companion to an observant and exhausted mind during the most wonderful time of the year... or maybe it's not, come to think of it. "

" This is the first book I listened to by David Sedaris and I wasn't impressed. It had such a depressing tone in such festive season. I don't think I will ever listen to or read this book again. I will try listening/reading his other works. "

" Evilly funny holiday stories. "

" This is a very funny book...it had me rolling. I'd definitely recommend it. "

" The usual form of humour you'd expect from David Sedaris with quite a few great laugh-out-loud moments. "

" Loved Sedaris' narration! The last disc had me laughing out loud in my car on my way home from work. "

" It's a 5/5 because I read it every Christmas. I can't wait till I have have grand kids and grandma can get drunk and read the stories out loud. Totally appropriate and way more interesting than "The Night Before Christmas". "

" This is a hilarious book of short stories. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a laugh and anyone who appreciates David Sedaris' unique sense of humor. "

" Not one of his best but gotta love the Macy's elf piece. "

" Some books lends themselves to being listened to. This is, by far, one. "

" Great book, hilarious as always and a quick read! "

" lightly entertaining. Some of the characters were so neurotic they made me nervous. "

" Good holiday collection of short stories by author. Very funny. "

" This one is a mixed bag. The tales of working as an elf at Macy's (SantaLand Diaries)are good, as are a few of the other stories. Some of the others (Christmas Means Giving, for example), however, are sick and disturbing. I like dark humor, but not that dark. "

" Hysterical. The Christmas elf story is just one of the funniest things I've ever read. "

" "Dinah th Christmas Whore" is positively wonderful. I read this book every year to remind me that there is a place for cynisism, world-weariness, and quasi-hoplelessness during the holidays. "

" Cleverly written. Each story is witty and funny but not cheesy at all. The story about the mother explaining her family has a shocking ending though. Keep an eye out for that! "

" Not my kind of sense of humor. Pretty rude, crass & did not put me in the holiday spirit. "

" It's David Sedaris....need I say more. "

" "Santa Land Diaries" was well worth reading. "

" pee-in-your-pants funny "

" I will read ANYTHING he writes. He's clever, funny, and just a master craftsman of words. "

" While the stories from Sedaris' own life are more like his best stuff, satirical pieces overreach. All in all, any Sedaris is a good read. "

" 5-stars for SantaLandDiaries, this story alone was absolutely priceless. It needs to be made into a holiday Xmas special. Would rank right up there w/ A Christmas Story. "

" If you need some funny holiday stories....here you go. "

" December is the perfect month to read this. Short, but classic stories. "

" Hilarious! And a good way to get through the holidays. "

" It doesn't get any funnier than this. A must-read during the holidays. "

" Santaland is one of my absolute favorite Sedaris stories. "

" A perennial favorite, and one that makes an excellent hostess gift/stocking stuffer! "

" lightly entertaining. Some of the characters were so neurotic they made me nervous. "

" I loved this book. I love him but mostly for this book. I read Naked and I was not as much of a fan but this one was great. Hilarious and sad. "

" funny, but not his best stuff. "

" As usual Sedaris is laugh out loud funny. So funny I couldn't stop reading when my stop came on the train so I read for the whole walk home. Brilliant! "

" The usual form of humour you'd expect from David Sedaris with quite a few great laugh-out-loud moments. "

" This is the first and only David Sedaris book I have read. It had me laughing out loud! He read one of these stories in which he does an imitation of Billie Holliday on NPR. He does an amazing imitation of her! :) I will be reading more David Sedaris in the future. "
