Book Reviews of When You Are Engulfed in Flames
Book Review: Will appeal to a wide audience, from prior fans of Sedaris to those who appreciate social commentary and humor
Summary: 5 Stars
The author performs a gripping series of four live recordings of a new book of essays which discusses everything from neurotic songbirds and how to soundproof windows against them using old LP covers to observations of everyday life. WHEN YOU ARE ENGULFED IN FLAMES will appeal to a wide audience, from prior fans of Sedaris to those who appreciate social commentary and humor, and is a pick for any general-interest audio collection.

Summary: 4 Stars
Hilarious at times but this book is definitely for adults only. It's got
quite a bit of sexual language.
Book Review: Hilarious!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not sure how one person has so many excruciatingly funny stories, but I laughed out loud reading this! On the plane. In bed. Be prepared to tell people what you are reading... this is too good to keep to yourself. Book Review: Entertaining and Introspective
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this book to be quite entertaining. David has a way with words, and quite a different perspective on life. The stories he tells in the book are quite humorous (not laugh out loud funny), and offer the reader some life lessons, and maybe a little insight as to what life is all about.Book Review: THE PARTY'S OVER
Summary: 1 Stars
Apparently, it's just me. I found David Sedaris's first 3 books hilarious, but these last 2 left me longing for the funnier, wittier Mr. Sedaris. He has become like my old aunts and uncles who tell the same old story over and over again, until you want to kill them. Haven't I read these same stories before? It's the same old stuff with a new cover and title. Has Mr. Sedaris run out of material, sadly, yes.
