I didn't know a lot about this book when I first saw it but I was pleasantly surprised by it. Honestly I mostly bought it because of its name, which I still don't understand how it relates to the whole storyline. I loved that it was filled with observations and commentary about every day life. At times it was funny and at other times it was really dark. Reading this I realized I really enjoy this style of books. Sedaris managed to make everyday mundane stories amusing and exciting. I really want to read more of his stuff.

I found this either boring or disturbing at times. The graphic suicide talk was ultimately what got me to stop reading
