Me Talk Pretty One Day (Abridged) Audiobook

" A storyteller such as Sedaris that can communicate any facet of life with quirky ease is a true savant. Beautiful. "

" I have recently discovered David Sedaris and have fallen in love with his wit and ridiculous perspective on life. "

" Love this guys sense of humor! "

" DAVID THEDARITH HAS DONE IT AGAIN "

" love anything by Sedaris. Best as audio books "

" gay humor is pretty funny. i liked it when after failing the mensa test, sedaris' boyfriend said there were other things he was good at. when pressed for specifics, all they could come up with is vacuuming and naming stuffed animals. there's a resume for you. "

" Funny entertaining, good beach vacation book "

" Why did I wait so long to read this? Hysterically funny. "

" David Sedaris is brilliant with words. He can twist them any way he likes to be as funny, witty and descriptive as he wants. He paints with them, he is a very talented writer. Yet, or maybe for that very reason, I've never hated a book more in my life. The protagonist is such a despicably lazy, infuriating man child, it ain't even cute, and the situations he describes are grotesque. Very poignant too, very often, but grotesque and screaming of trying too hard and too much. If stripped of the brilliance of its execution, this collection of essays would be trash; stories about unflushed turds, abusive French teachers, inane art statements read as exaggerations, as malicious caricatures that begin in nothing and end with nothing . The book, of course, is written with words and it cannot be stripped of its style and essence, and this tears me apart, because the form is genius and the contents are not. "

" It's hilarious!!! such a laugh! "

" Laughing too hard to write full review. "

" Utterly laugh-out-loud funny. The chapter on him learning French (from which the book title comes) is without a doubt the best exposition of adult second language learning I have ever come across. One of my favorite books of all time. "

" I really could not get into the book and gave up on page 60 "

" Before I started reading this book, I didn't realize that it was a compilation of short stories. Some were good, some I didn't care for, but the majority were humorous. "

" A collection of mostly anecdotal stories, I found myself laughing through some and others more tedious to get through. "

" My favourite book by David Sedaris. "

" I love David Sedaris! "

" Meh. David Sedaris is funnier to listen to than read. "

" The first David Sedaris book I read. Absolutely hysterical. "

" Don't look at me ,look at me! "

" Poignant and amusing, Sedaris pulls it off incredibly well. Another book looking into the psyche. Loved it. "

" This is one of the funniest books I've ever read. I love his wacky, quirky style and self-deprecating humour. It's an autobiographical account which made me laugh out loud at times, something which rarely happens with a book. His upbringing certainly makes you rethink your own! "

" Loved it. A good choice when a novel seems too much. "

" I thought this book was funny, particularly part two which focused on his relationship with Hugh and their French adventures. "

" Could not stop laughing. "

" Couldn't put it down.... "

" A very eclectic grouping of essays. Some are down right funny but others should just be filed under WTF. "

" David Sedaris is brilliant, and this was one of his best. "

" Hysterical - did the audio version and really enjoyed it. "

" Relatable, fun and ultimately the book that inspired me to write. Well done! "

" I have no words, David is a genius story teller!!!! "

" Listened to this as a book on CD. Most of it was pretty hilarious. David Sedaris is a great writer. My only complaints were the several F-bombs and segments that seemed needlessly crass. I really enjoyed it, though. "

" HILARIOUS. For all of us who've tried (miserably) to learn another language. "

" One of the funniest books I have ever read. I remember having to put it down because I was crying and laughing so hard my chest hurt! "

" The Sedaris family is full of win "

" The only Sedaris I've read is Clothe Your Children in Corduroy and Denim. Needless to say, I was so disappointed by this book that I didn't even finish it because I was so bored. It was really boring. "

" Cyndy, I think you would like this book. It is pretty humorous. I don't know how this guy functions in life! "

" It is David Sedaris, so expect to laugh and cry...and laugh some more. He is godly. "

" There's no doubt in my mind this is the funniest book I've ever read, by a pretty wide margin too. Very entertaining. "
