This book has been on my "to read" list for quite a while. Luckily, our book club wanted to read some of his work. I was very happy to be able to buy a reasonably priced issue since our library is still not open for borrowing.

Probably the worst book I've ever read. It is written by a self-professed drug addict who clearly was high on meth when he wrote this book! The language is vulgar and offensive to say the least. The humor (if you can call it that) is bland, completely irrelevant to the subject he's speaking of. I read about half (hoping it would improve) before I just couldn't stomach it anymore. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS ONE!

I picked up this book when I was on a boat in Europe as something to read before I fell asleep at night, and within a day or two, it became one of my favourites ever. David Sedaris' writing style is unmatched- it is unique, refreshing, and can be simultaneously laugh-out-loud funny and surprisingly powerful. Because the book is made up of a series of short, personal essays, not only is this book constantly changing focus and presenting new stories, but it is perfect for someone who doesn't have loads of time to sit down and read, because you have the option of simply reading one or two essays at a time. I, personally, love this book, and have returned to it time and time again. Because of this book, I have gone on to find more of Sedaris' works, and have enjoyed them all. He's become one of my favourite authors, and I would highly recommend this book to anyone who's ready for something new.Read full review
Dave Sedaris flaunts his skill once again. Naked, by Sedaris, was hard to follow. However, anyone who loves Paris will enjoy his stories about life abroad. Sedaris isn't for anyone who takes life too seriously. No tolerance of talk of body functions, drug addiction or homosexuality? Don't read his work! I find Dave Sedaris someone who "calls it like he sees it." Sedaris is unabashed about his experiences and writes a great tale. I shop Amazon.com and found that looking for Me Talk Pretty One Day to be less expensive on Ebay. People, shop around, look for the best bargain. I will continue to pursue books by Sedaris since his wit and style help me see the lighter side of life at the end of the day.
The author Sedaris is well known. But his humor is not evident here. The first ten pages are boring.
