Naked

So hilarious, I have a dry sense of humor and parts of this were sending me. Listening to the audiobook was great, I was cackling at work.

If you're a serious person and have trouble laughing at morbidity, death, literal shit, people going senile, avoid this book.


A few of my favorite quotes:

“She was good for a dollar or two.”

“I saw her as a benign ghost...until you needed a little spending money”

I don't know, I can't read this book. Actually, it's both interesting and not. I wanted to read it and I wanted to drop it at the same time. I found it to be a bit disturbing, a type of disturbing I can't manage right now.

Story: 4.0 / 10
Characters: 9
Setting: 7
Prose: 10

Not sure about this. I was hoping to laugh and have a great time, but the tone is actually subdued, and I counted only one chuckle from me during the entire read. The stories are nice and warm and the book flows by nicely, but I had higher expectations in terms of funniness...

Just finished with this book, and I can say that this my least favorite David Sedaris' books that I've read. Every story just seems to highlight his absolute worst traits.

He seems to have packed a thousand lives into his few short years. Funny as always.
