Critic reviews

"Sidesplitting....Her advice is both practical and hilarious....Sedaris' first solo effort...is an outrageous and deadpan delight." (Publishers Weekly)

Perfect.

I was cackling the entire time. I initially wondered if a book with so many visuals would translate well to audio, but I needn’t have worried. Amy Sedaris is hilarious, and this book is a perfect short treat.

Oh, Jerri...

I loved this. It was delightful to here while I planned my Halloween party and cleaned my apartment. I've always really loved Amy Sedaris. I think she is a very strong, gifted, talented and hilarious woman. This was such a charming book to hear, I can't wait to play it again. I gave it all the stars. I loved that Amy narrated her work. It was very fitting.

Hilarious

I listened to this book on a long flight to Hawaii. Amy's strangeness and humor is a precious gift to a world that takes itself too seriously.

I have a physical copy which is everything I could ask for visually. In my head, I hear amy sedaris's voice when I read it. ..But wow, the audiobook really delivered. absolutely hilarious. I can't decide which I love more. if you love this book and or Amy sedaris, you must hear her read it. highly recommend!

Amy is such an inspiration

To her recipes and short stories, Amy Sedaris is a constant inspiration to everyone.
This was an excellent audio experience of this book but the images in the hardcopy cannot be beat. Definitely recommend getting a hardcopy of this book.

you have to have a sense of humor...

If you don't have a sort of off the wall sense of humor, you may not find this funny, I on the other hand, found myself laughing out loud at the park with my earbuds firmly implanted in my ears so that I probably looked like a crazy person. I found it to be extremely funny.....

A Goldmine

I found this book a delightful read. My favorite part- and it's not easy to choose, was the hilariously informative section on how to be a good guest. Make no mistake, the content is not just great satire, but an actual handbook on how to give a successful party. The included pdf files of the recipes mentioned are the icing on the cake.

Ms. Sedaris gives useful tips I have never heard or seen anywhere else. Her narration is top notch and a treat in itself. I can't wait for her next effort!

This is the book you will give for the Holidays.
