Book Reviews of Me Talk Pretty One Day

Book Review: "Laugh out loud" - funny
Summary: 4 Stars

I love the story of his childhood, how he due to his lisp becomes a kid with an outstanding vocabulary (to avoid words starting with "s"), the story of his artistic career, and also his brother - "The rooster". But his story about moving to France and trying to learn French is amongst the absolute best.

I can perfectly well relate to his frustration trying to learn another language. I have done something quite similar, I went to Ecuador to study Spanish with only 7 words in my vocabulary (the numbers 1-4, thank you, please and Merry Christmas) so I found those chapters absolute hilarious. My favourite is when he is having trouble with singular/plural and to circumvent this he always buys more than one, no matter what it is. His boyfriend is getting upset about this and I love Sedaris' comment "Just wait until he sees the *CD-players* I have bought for his birthday"...

I have not read many books that have made me laugh as much as this one has. To my surprise, Sedaris and his story kept me completely hooked for the 270 pages.

This book makes you laugh - laugh out loud!
