Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris

Not a biography as such, more a string of humorous anecdotes. This is the second book and follows on from Naked, and perhaps the book does have the 'feel' of second time around and less content.  Having said that some of the stories about his fascinating and psychologically interesting family are hysterical.  The short anecdote about the bobbing poo - had us all laughing: when read aloud by Rona in best RADA enunciation and intonation!  Chrissie found a quote where the reviewer says " He (David Sedaris) uses humor as a lens to examine humanity" which we all agreed with.  An enjoyable light read.

Words used to describe it:  amusing easy read, Amuse Bouche, delightful
Marks: between 6 - 8
